Overview
Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.
You will be joining Arup’s Bridge and Civil Structures team, working on an exciting portfolio of transport and infrastructure projects in the UK and internationally. Our team combines deep technical expertise with advanced digital, data and AI‑enabled approaches to design, assess and renew bridges, tunnels and civil structures that connect communities and support long‑term resilience. Projects range from long‑span bridges and complex underground infrastructure to major road and rail upgrades that transform how people move and live.
The Opportunity
Our Bridge and Civil Structures team, based in central Birmingham, is a large and diverse group of engineers and technicians working across bridges, civil structures and tunnels within multidisciplinary project teams. Operating in a fully digital environment, we support projects at all stages of the lifecycle — from concept and feasibility through to detailed design, delivery and the management of existing assets.
We are looking for a Bridge & Civil Structures Engineer to make a strong technical contribution to our world‑class projects. In this role, you will support the design of bridges, tunnels and heavy civil engineering structures, including complex underground infrastructure, and help develop sustainable solutions for existing highway and rail assets requiring assessment, strengthening or modification.
You will work collaboratively with colleagues across disciplines, coordinate design inputs, and communicate solutions using 3D models and other digital tools. This is an opportunity to grow your technical capability, develop your digital skills and take increasing responsibility within a supportive, innovative and collaborative team environment.
Is this role right for you?
We are keen to hear from engineers who are motivated by technical challenge, collaboration and continuous learning. You are likely to bring:
* A master’s degree in Civil Engineering (or equivalent), with progress towards Chartered Status.
* Experience contributing to the design or construction of bridges and/or civil structures.
* Familiarity with structural analysis and design tools such as MIDAS, SOFiSTiK, GSA, Strand7 or SAP2000.
* Experience working with BIM processes and digital model delivery.
* A working knowledge of Eurocodes as applied by organisations such as National Highways and/or Network Rail.
* Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly and contribute to high‑quality reports.
* Experience working within multidisciplinary teams and delivering work to programme and budget will be valued.
* Digital skills such as Python scripting, data management or visualisation are a plus, alongside a curiosity for innovation and a desire to apply existing knowledge in new areas.
This role does not meet the criteria for visa sponsorship under the UK immigration system. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
