Company profile

Arup is a global firm of designers, engineers, planners and business consultants providing a diverse range of professional services to clients around the world. Our innovative and fully-integrated approach brings our full complement of skills and knowledge to bear on any given design problem.

Our people exert a significant influence on the built environment and are the creative force behind many of the world’s most innovative and sustainable designs. Examples of these include: the Beijing National Stadium and Water Cube, Sydney Opera House, the Millennium Bridge, the Swiss Re Headquarters and the City of Manchester Stadium.

With 92 offices in more than 37 countries, and over 10,000 staff worldwide, at any one time we have over 10,000 projects running concurrently.

Building the future
A commitment to the environment and the communities being worked in has always been at the heart of the Arup ethos. It defines our approach to work, to our clients and collaborators, and to each other.
Our ethos is summarised in the aims of the firm, set out by Ove Arup in his key speech of 1970:

We will ensure that the name Arup is always associated with quality.
We will act honestly and fairly in dealing with our staff and others.
We will enhance prosperity for all Arup staff.

A sense of community
Our ethos has empowered us with a sense of community that goes beyond a policy statement. It has been so fundamental to what we’re about for such a long time it has become self-perpetuating. The ethos attracts people to the firm, who, as Ove Arup put it, ‘feel it, really believe it and mean to work for it’.

A journey taken together
Arup recruits over 100 graduates in the UK every year and has graduate vacancies in acoustics, architecture, bridges, building design, communications and systems, environment, fire, finance, geotechnics and tunnelling, highways, intelligent transport systems, lighting, management consultancy, materials, quantity surveying, rail, risk management, site development, town planning, transaction advice, transport planning and water.
