Arup's purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.
We're looking for Fire Engineers to join our UK team and help deliver a growing portfolio of high-impact, meaningful projects.
Our work spans the iconic and the unconventional, from restoring Manchester's Grade-I listed Town Hall to transforming the British Museum in one of the world's largest cultural renovations, we also led fire safety on WorkStack, the UK's first mass timber light industrial building and a RIBA London Award winner.
At Arup, we go beyond compliance. We conduct cutting-edge fire safety research, develop in-house digital tools, and collaborate with academia and industry to tackle emerging hazards and improve safety equity, especially for the most vulnerable.
Join us and you'll be part of a diverse, innovative team that's been leading fire safety engineering for over 50 years.
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 to do socially useful work that has meaning – to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve.
You will complement our fire safety team and help deliver fire safety engineering services for our clients. As part of a 400+ strong fire safety skills network across 20 offices, your role will involve interactive and collaborative working with fire safety colleagues and multidisciplinary teams at Arup.
We appreciate that everyone's circumstances are different and it's not always easy to commit to standard working hours. Work Unbound is our innovative hybrid approach to working and gives all our members greater flexibility in deciding how and where they work.
Is this role right for you?
You'll either be working towards Chartered Engineer status or have a real motivation to achieve this. If it's the latter, we will support you with what you need to succeed here.
