"My name is Tristan, I am a Senior Electrical Engineer in the Leeds Energy Water & Resource MEICA team. I joined Arup 5 years ago as part of the Graduate programme, since then I have been able to experience a wide variety of  multidisciplinary projects centred on sustainability, ranging from designs for Clean Air Zones to Electric Vehicle Strategy and scoping Hydrogen gas network transition to detailing Electrical infrastructure for a Nuclear facility. In Arup we pride ourselves on delivering projects that are focused on decarbonisation and are fulfilling for colleagues as well as society. Needless to say the networks and opportunities are endless within Arup, which allows colleagues to progress their careers in a direction they choose. 

During my time at Arup I have had a great opportunity to collaborate on very interesting projects and worked with experts across the company, leading to delivering exciting work for our Clients and learning a host of new skills along the way. Some of my highlights within the business include: travelling to Lisbon to present a paper on EV infrastructure modelling and travelling to Toronto to complete a site survey and design for one of Arup's innovative Automated Tunnel Inspection projects."
