The Opportunity
Arup is seeking a highly organised and detail-oriented Senior Business Information Coordinator to join our Project Library Team.

Collaboration with other teams across the firm may also be a vital part of your role, offering variety and scope to apply your expertise in information management.
If you're passionate about data quality, digital transformation, and making a meaningful impact within a global organisation, we’d love to hear from you. Join us in shaping the future of information management at Arup!
