Why Arup? 

Process engineering is at the heart of many of the solutions needed to satisfy a growing society seeking a sustainable future, where the challenges of climate change are being tackled through innovation, collaboration and the influence of governments.  Our involvement in the circular economy, the progression towards a net-zero carbon future and the creation of resilient thinking in a changing climate, shines a spotlight on the power of process engineering. 

The Opportunity

The water sector in Europe and further afield is undergoing a massive transformation to respond to the challenges of climate change, population growth and pressures on the environment. This challenge impacts on water utilities and on other sectors that use water, either directly or indirectly.  Water is a “blue thread” that will shape our ability to deliver on the UNs Sustainable Development Goals.

You will also be involved in the report writing and the development of fee proposals, feasibility studies of plant operating and capital costs. We would expect you to have a practical understanding of how your designs will be implemented, and digital approaches to solve our problems including the relevant current analysis and design software.

·        A relevant degree and Chartered Engineer Status.
