We are more than 34,000 people, in over 30 countries, dedicated to improving quality of life. Everyone has an important role to play. With the power of many curious minds, together we can solve the world’s most complex challenges and deliver more impact together.
Role Description
Our vision is to be the leading asset management organisation supporting our clients to optimise the performance and value of their physical assets through the lifecycle of planning, creation, maintenance, operation, and disposal. We combine our digital, engineering, data analytics, and consultancy expertise from our global teams to deliver sustainable and predictive asset management solutions for asset-intensive organisations, enabling operational, tactical, and strategic asset management decision-making in a continually changing environment.
Based in the UK, we have an exciting opportunity for a Rail Depot and Rolling Stock Consultant to join our Infrastructure Asset Management team and help achieve this vision. You will help deliver our UK asset management strategy, lead and support a range of depot and rolling stock asset management projects, and help develop our capabilities and value propositions within the rail market. You will also provide support across our Design and Engineering, Asset Management, and Advisory service lines, through our global business areas, Mobility, Resilience, and Places.
You will be a key member of the team within Arcadis Mobility, reporting to an Associate Director within the Rail Asset Management and will play a vital role in growing the business and creating opportunities. There will be opportunities for growth and career development, and as the team develops, you may manage and support more junior colleagues while developing your role as a technical subject matter expert in rail depot and rolling stock asset management.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
