This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2121 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 43% sure that is the right code. Arup is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2129 (Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified) or SOC 3114 (Building and civil engineering technicians). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
See it differently
You see the world through a unique lens and that’s exactly what we need. We embrace how you see things differently – it’s essential for creating a sustainable future.
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
On your six-week internship, you’ll work alongside specialist façade engineering professionals on real life, meaningful projects for both new-build and refurbishment projects across the UK and internationally. Working as part of multidisciplinary design teams, we help clients deliver safe, sustainable and high-performing building envelopes that respond to architectural, environmental and operational requirements.
Our work spans façade concept design, technical specification, performance analysis, procurement support, heritage and conservation projects, façade surveys and diagnostics, and construction-stage services. We have experience across commercial, residential, cultural, education and transport sectors, delivering a wide range of façade systems including curtain walling, rainscreen cladding, stone façades, glazing systems, bespoke envelopes and façade refurbishment schemes. The team places a strong emphasis on sustainability, whole-life carbon reduction, building safety and the long-term performance of building envelopes.
You will be working within a team in a multi-disciplinary office.
