Job description

Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach have set us apart for 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world. Our North Transport Portfolio brings together multidisciplinary teams delivering some of the UK’s most significant transport and infrastructure projects. Working across Leeds, Manchester and the wider North region, our teams collaborate to create sustainable, innovative solutions that improve how people move and connect.

We are looking for a highly organised and proactive Team Coordinator to help our Transport teams operate effectively and efficiently. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative environment where your coordination, communication and organisational skills will have a direct impact on the success of our people and projects.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Team Coordinator to support our Transport Portfolio across the North Geography. In this varied and rewarding role, you will play a key part in the smooth running of teams, providing day-to-day coordination and supporting the delivery of operational, governance and project-related activities that enable our technical specialists to focus on delivering excellent outcomes for clients.

You will prepare high-quality documents, presentations and communications in line with the Arup brand, proofreading and editing content to ensure clarity and consistency. You will support work-winning activities, including bids, pre-qualification questionnaires and expressions of interest, helping to coordinate information such as CVs, project sheets and supporting documentation.

The role will involve maintaining organisational information, Teams spaces and distribution lists, monitoring training compliance, supporting recurring business processes, coordinating team meetings and schedules, and assisting with travel arrangements. You will also support new starters through their induction journey, coordinate team and client-facing events, and act as a key point of coordination across the North Transport team.

Working closely with Business Operations colleagues and team leaders, you will help drive efficient ways of working, share best practice, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, including the adoption of digital tools and technologies.

At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective – in which we encourage individuality to thrive. Our strength comes from how we respect, share and connect our diverse experiences, perspectives and ideas.

We are looking for people who:

• Are excellent communicators with strong written and verbal skills and the ability to build positive relationships across large hybrid teams.
• Have organisational skills and can effectively manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Demonstrate strong knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, particularly PowerPoint, and ideally have experience with SharePoint, OneDrive and Copilot.
• Are collaborative, proactive and solutions-focused, with a growth mindset and a desire to continuously improve processes and ways of working.
• Can handle sensitive and confidential information with professionalism, discretion and attention to detail.

Desirable, but not essential:

• Experience working within an engineering consultancy or large global organisation.
• Knowledge of CRM systems.
• A Level 4 NVQ or a relevant secretarial or administrative qualification.
• Willingness to travel occasionally between our North offices.
