SOC 2152 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, 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 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians, Building services consultant index entry; role embedded in building design team) or SOC 2121 (Civil engineers, Civil engineering degree sought; building services engineering work). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

See it differently

Arup is a global consultancy with advisory and technical expertise across more than 150 disciplines. We guide, plan and design the future of the built environment. Globally, each year we recruit hundreds of graduates and students who help us see things differently and solve the most complex challenges facing our clients, climate and communities.
The Opportunity

Independent in ownership and spirit, we’re a global firm of designers, planners, engineers, consultants and technical experts who use our skills to make a positive difference in the world.
Arup’s Sustainability Experts provide support to internal and external building design teams to enhance the environmental performance of our projects. We provide environmental assessment services which allow clients and external stakeholders to benchmark the environmental performance of their buildings and work with organisations to change their approach to embedding sustainability into their projects. Our experience encompasses new and existing buildings of all types in countries around the world. We use the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a framework to define how we can take action on our projects to affect change.
The Sustainability Team is embedded in an integrated building design team which delivers complete building services for projects of all types. Sustainability Team delivers sustainability services both within the wider Arup building design team as well as independently, in collaboration with external organisations. Many clients want to find balance between commercial performance, usability, comfort and sustainability. Such balanced solutions demand coordination, requiring the team to communicate and collaborate frequently with Clients, Design Teams and Specialists within the building sector.
By thinking beyond standard solutions, we help clients achieve their sustainability aspirations – from internal targets to third party ratings such as LEED®, BREEAM and the WELL Building Standard.
