We are looking for the following skills and experience:

• Masters degree in civil/structural engineering with a strong track record in mainstream structural engineering design / Chartered or close to becoming chartered with the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers or an equivalent professional institution.
• Relevant professional experience, including experience working on challenging infrastructure or building structures projects
• Experience in the design of structures in steel, reinforced concrete, timber and/or masonry in accordance with British Standards and Eurocodes
• Coding skills such as Python, JavaScript, C# / Ability of using Rhino/Grasshopper
• An understanding of construction methodologies and consideration of buildability issues within the design process
• Knowledge of relevant legislation, regulations, codes of practice and guidelines

We are seeking talented structural engineers who have a broad knowledge of structural engineering design and an interest in specialising in resilient structural design, to join our London team but possibly to be deployed to projects being led from other centres and to further the development of our blast engineering services globally. Arup has one of the most significant protective design teams globally, with teams in London, Manchester, New York, San Francisco, Melbourne and Singapore working together as one global team.
Unlike traditional codified design, blast engineering requires a very different approach to the design but requires a designer’s empathy with regard to aesthetic, form and function of any proposed facility. As such, this is a great opportunity for an existing practitioner to build their professional and tactical position in the industry, or for a talented structural engineer to move up the food chain, provide strategic input and undertake first-principles design as traditional forms of mainstream structural engineering design are increasingly being automated and undertaken by code-compliant software.
The successful candidate will be able to confidently and articulately communicate concepts of threat, risk and risk mitigation, supported by our threat specialists, will be able to develop and present conceptual ideas, understand the planning, design and construction process in the development of design solutions in a multi-disciplinary design environment and will be able to manage the detailed analysis, design and specification of blast and vehicle hardening measures. Experience in blast engineering or a related discipline is desirable but not essential.
