Senior Aviation Engineer (Civil)

Joining Arup

Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach have set us apart for 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world. The transport sector is transforming rapidly. Every passenger is a smart, multi-modal traveller, pushing transport systems to digitise and become more responsive to users. Climate change means operators need to find ways to both expand services and decarbonise. Across rail, roads, aviation and maritime, transport operators need to invest for a different future, while maintaining the ageing networks they already own. Arup is at the heart of these trends, helping authorities, network operators and the travelling public to arrive at solutions that work for them.
