Our Energy Geotechnics team plays a key role in supporting the global energy transition, delivering innovative ground engineering solutions for offshore wind, transmission infrastructure and other major energy developments. Bringing together geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, geophysicists and digital specialists, we help clients understand complex ground conditions and manage risk from early site investigation through to design and delivery.
The Opportunity
To support Arup’s continued growth in offshore wind and transmission infrastructure, we have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Geotechnical Engineer with offshore cable installation experience to join our Energy Geotechnics team in London.
In this role, you will deliver geotechnical engineering solutions and proactive technical advice for clients, with a particular focus on inter-array cables, export cables and interconnectors. You will contribute to technically challenging projects across the full lifecycle, from early site investigation and cable routing through to design, installation and delivery.
This is a client-facing role where collaboration, clear communication and a strong understanding of client needs are key. You will work on projects across the globe, supporting major developers and collaborating with colleagues across Arup, as well as external partners and research institutions.
You will have the opportunity to apply your offshore cable and ground engineering expertise to complex energy infrastructure challenges, while continuing to develop your technical, commercial and project leadership skills within a supportive and forward-looking team.
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.
Is this role right for you?
We are keen to hear from people with a strong interest in transmission infrastructure and geotechnical engineering, who enjoy collaborative problem-solving and are motivated to keep developing their expertise.
