We are an independent firm of designers, planners, engineers, consultants and technical specialists offering a broad range of professional services. Through our work, we make a positive difference in the world.

As a Senior Environmental Physics & Wind (EP&W) Engineer you will be working with a creative, innovative, multi-cultural and self-motivated team in India, the wider UKIMEA region and globally. The successful candidate will complement our EP&W team in the UKIMEA by assisting with the building physics, microclimate and/or wind elements across our projects. Due to our geographic location, we are very well positioned to work closely with our Environmental Physics, Building Physics and Wind teams, as well as Fire and Smoke Modelling and Facades teams globally. It's an exciting time to be a part of our growth in India.

Climate change Climate change refers to long‑term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

You will work on a wide range of projects, lead junior engineers, and draw on support from the wider EP&W team as needed.

You will have strong commercial, client‑facing skills and represent Arup externally with minimal supervision. An established client network is an advantage. You should have experience in CFD modelling (OpenFOAM, ANSYS CFX or Fluent) and working with geographically distributed teams. Experience in datacentre CFD, microclimate design, dynamic thermal modelling and/or wind engineering is a plus.

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.
