SOC 2482 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,200, and Arup is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 3544 (Data analysts, Focus on data analysis and organising data for insights) or SOC 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, IT systems design and business objectives focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Joining Arup
Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.
Data Services sits at the heart of Arup’s digital capability, enabling the firm to make better, faster and more confident decisions through data. The discipline brings together data platforms, engineering, analytics, AI and governance to ensure data is trusted, accessible and used responsibly at scale across projects and corporate services.
From building and running enterprise data platforms to delivering advanced analytics and AI solutions, Data Services helps teams reduce risk, improve outcomes for clients and unlock new opportunities through data‑driven insight.
The Opportunity
At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective – in which we encourage individuality to thrive. Our strength comes from how we respect, share and connect our diverse experiences, perspectives and ideas. You will have the opportunity do socially useful work that has meaning – to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build practical experience at the intersection of data governance and AI‑enabled delivery. You will support how data is governed across a global organisation, helping to put strong data foundations in place that enable analytics and AI, and build confidence in meeting regulatory and ethical requirements.
You will work closely with data, digital and business teams, contributing to real projects and supporting the day‑to‑day application of data governance in practice. This includes helping teams understand and apply governance guidance, supporting safe and responsible use of data, and seeing first‑hand how good data management improves decision‑making and outcomes.
The role offers the opportunity to develop hands‑on governance and regulatory skills in a fast‑growing area, learn from experienced practitioners, and build a strong foundation for a future career in data governance, data management and AI‑related roles.
