We have an exciting opportunity for a Team Coordinator to support our CSS (Climate and Sustainability Services) Portfolio in our North Geography.
The Team Coordinator plays a key role in supporting the smooth running of teams, providing day‑to‑day coordination and administrative support across both project and operational activity.
The role can be based out of either our Manchester or Leeds offices. We would like the chosen candidate to visit each office one day per week (travel will be covered for which ever office isn’t your normal place of work).
The Opportunity
In this role you will be responsible for preparing clear, high‑quality documents and presentations in line with the Arup brand, using Microsoft Office tools.
