Description du poste

Joining Arup

Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach have set us apart for 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

The Manila Energy Team is expanding its Advisory capability to support grid expansion, resilience, and decarbonisation across the Philippines and the wider Asia‑Pacific region. This role is repositioned to focus on engineering advisory and technical leadership, providing specialist input to complex energy projects, supporting sound decision making, and contributing to project delivery through targeted technical oversight.

The Opportunity

You will act primarily as a Renewable Energy Engineer on Advisory projects, supporting the conversion of opportunities from early client engagement through proposal development, technical positioning, and mobilisation of delivery teams. Hands on project management responsibility will be selective and typically focused on complex, high value, or strategically important assignments. The role involves close collaboration with renewable energy developers, utilities, regulators, and financiers, as well as Arup’s global Renewable Energy, Advisory, and Energy Infrastructure specialists. You will play a key role in defining solution strategies, shaping scopes, and ensuring Arup’s technical excellence is clearly articulated and differentiated during pursuits.

You are expected to provide technical authority and thought leadership in Advisory, mentor staff, and proactively identify opportunities to cross‑sell Arup’s integrated capabilities across power systems, civil, structural, geotechnical, environmental, digital, and advisory services.

• Embedded within the Manila Energy business and the wider Infrastructure team under the EWR+T Infra cost center, the position focuses on shaping, originating, and technically leading advisory opportunities, including delivering technical advisory services across the renewable energy project lifecycle, with general knowledge of permitting, pre-development, and FID-related requirements.
• Prepare and review Independent Engineer / OE Engineer reports, technical opinions, and bankability assessments.
• Undertake technical due diligence (TDD) for lenders, investors, and project sponsors, encompassing review of design, technology, construction, cost estimates, schedules, and identifying project risks

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.

You will have the opportunity do socially useful work that has meaning – to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve.
