Joining Arup
Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world.
You will be joining Arup’s Bridge and Civil Structures team, working on an exciting portfolio of transport and infrastructure projects in the UK and internationally. Our team combines deep technical expertise with advanced digital, data and AI‑enabled approaches to design, assess and renew bridges, tunnels and civil structures that connect communities and support long‑term resilience. Projects range from long‑span bridges and complex underground infrastructure to major road and rail upgrades that transform how people move and live.
The Opportunity
Our Bridge and Civil Structures team, based in central Birmingham, is a large and diverse group of engineers and technicians working across bridges, civil structures and tunnels within multidisciplinary project teams. Operating in a fully digital environment, we support projects at all stages of the lifecycle — from concept and feasibility through to detailed design, delivery and the management of existing assets.
We are looking for a Bridge & Civil Structures Engineer to make a strong technical contribution to our world‑class projects. In this role, you will support the design of bridges, tunnels and heavy civil engineering structures, including complex underground infrastructure, and help develop sustainable solutions for existing highway and rail assets requiring assessment, strengthening or modification.
You will work collaboratively with colleagues across disciplines, coordinate design inputs, and communicate solutions using 3D models and other digital tools. This is an opportunity to grow your technical capability, develop your digital skills and take increasing responsibility within a supportive, innovative and collaborative team environment.
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 to do socially useful work that has meaning – to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve.
