BRIDGE AND CIVIL STRUCTURES:

A career in any of our UK Bridges/Civils Structures teams provides an exciting and rewarding environment in which to work and develop. We are a truly diverse team, collaborating on and delivering a vast range of projects, of all scales, throughout the UK and across the globe. Our work covers the full range of civil engineering structures and bridges, and we are a driving force behind the concept and delivery of major infrastructure projects. Our projects transform and greatly improve daily lives, from new build designs which complement their environments through to the strengthening of existing assets to sustainably extend their life. In Bridges and Civil Structures, this entails us being at the cutting edge in the use of technology such as 3D solid modelling, automation tools, coding, databases and data analytics. As such, we are looking for candidates with an aptitude and interest in developing in these areas alongside the more traditional technical and engineering skills.
From day one, you will be part of a friendly and supportive team, delivering projects to improve the infrastructure used every day – whether it is for transport, energy or water schemes. The work will be varied, both technically and in terms of project size and location.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES WITH FIVE OR MORE GCSES AT GRADE C/4/5 OR ABOVE INCLUDING MATHS (GRADE B/5/6 OR ABOVE), ENGLISH AND SCIENCE OR THEIR EQUIVALENT.

We’re looking for apprentices who are curious and ready to evolve how they think and work.
Our strength comes from how we respect, share and connect our diverse experiences, perspectives and ideas.

Eligibility for apprenticeship funding requires candidates to have the right to work in the UK and continuous residency in the UK since at least September 2022. Candidates holding a visa must ensure it remains valid for the full duration of the apprenticeship, which may extend up to 5 years.

We solve the world’s most complex problems and deliver what seems impossible. We explore challenges with curiosity and creativity - using technology, imagination and rigour to deliver remarkable outcomes.
Our Level 4 Higher Apprenticeships
Our apprenticeships allow you to study for industry-recognised qualifications whilst earning a competitive salary. As an apprentice, you will study with a training provider, such as a college, and combine this experience with real responsibilities in the workplace. Your study pattern could be day or block release, or via distance learning, depending on the course that you enrol on. A dedicated mentor will guide you through your personal and professional development. Level 4 Higher Apprenticeships have a typical duration of two years, during which you will attain both a professional and academic qualification to further your career. Our apprentices are employed on a permanent basis, so you’ll continue to progress with Arup once you’ve completed your course.
