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.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for Fire Engineers to join our UK team and help deliver a growing portfolio of high‑impact, meaningful projects. Our work spans iconic and unconventional projects, from restoring Manchester’s Grade‑I listed Town Hall to transforming the British Museum, and leading fire safety on the UK’s first mass timber light industrial building, WorkStack, a RIBA London Award winner. At Arup, we go beyond compliance, conducting cutting‑edge fire safety research, developing in‑house digital tools and collaborating with academia and industry to tackle emerging hazards and improve safety equity, especially for the most vulnerable. Join us and be part of a diverse, innovative team that has led fire safety engineering for over 50 years.
Is this role right for you?
You’ll either be working towards Chartered Engineer status or have a strong motivation to achieve it. If it’s the latter, we will support you with what you need to succeed.
As a Fire Engineer You Would Be Expected
* To understand and implement the principle of fire science on real projects via the engineering process (goals, objectives, building appraisal and hazards, design fire scenarios, etc.).
* To understand the Total Fire Safety concept: from client brief through design and construction, taking account of the socio‑technical context and seeking to pre‑empt fire safety issues at different stages of a project so that the end result delivers on the client brief.
* To investigate and apply appropriate legislation and design guidance for use on your projects.
* To develop and implement fire strategies in collaboration with the design team and relevant stakeholders. You’ll either be working towards Chartered Engineer status or have a real motivation to achieve this; if it’s the latter, we will support you with what you need to succeed.
We’re Looking For
* Qualification in a relevant subject (fire engineering, other types of engineering, or architecture related).
* Experience in a fire engineering consultancy or similar environment (industry related).
* Knowledge of applicable legislation and guidance used in the UK, and awareness of the new regulatory regime.
* Excellent report writing and communication skills – be collaborative, creative and engaging.
* Ability to work on multiple projects concurrently, working to tight deadlines and juggling multiple demands and deliverables.
* Proactivity in resolving issues, creating solutions, relying on others as required for assistance and experience.
