Joining Arup
Structural Engineer – Sheffield
Arup’s purpose, shared values, and collaborative approach have set us apart for over 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world. At Arup, we have opportunities for Structural Engineers who are looking for technically challenging work on cutting-edge projects, to join our established Building Engineering team in Sheffield.
Are you passionate about building a more sustainable future? At Arup, we work to find solutions for some of the world’s most complex problems – providing expertise across all areas of the built environment from strategic approach and planning to design and engineering. Arup has made a major contribution to the growth and development of Sheffield and Yorkshire since opening our office in 1957. Our office is home to more than 150 engineers, planners, digital experts, and technical specialists, supporting the regeneration of the North of England.
We rethink structures to make them more responsive to evolving demands. Locally, we have supported Sheffield City Council with the redevelopment of the Heart of the City retaining existing facades to create residential and commercial spaces; created the award-winning atrium at St Georges Heart space and The Diamond at the University of Sheffield; repurposed the listed Canada House to a new music center; met the complex demands of a new machining facility, one of the most technically advanced in the world; and shaped the popular concert venues Valliant Live (Derby) and First Direct (Leeds).
The Opportunity
We have an opportunity for a talented and enthusiastic Structural Engineer to join our creative and friendly Building Engineering team in Sheffield.
- You will be a vital part of a multidisciplinary, collaborative team of around 20 Engineers and Technicians delivering cutting-edge projects with a strong focus on sustainability that help facilitate the transition to net-zero carbon.
- Our local, regional, national, and international projects will allow you to work and succeed in a multicultural business environment.
Current projects comprise a wide range of projects (new build and refurbishment), which include hospitality, leisure and sports venues, education, industrial, residential, and commercial projects with a technical focus. We are looking for a skilled engineer with developing design, technical, and software skills who enjoys working collaboratively in multi-professional design teams, taking responsibility for packages of work from inception to completion to achieve outstanding results.
