Our process chemical and process engineering team comprises specialist chemical engineers, scientists and industrial experts who shape everything from conceptual design ideas through pre‑FEED and FEED to completed turnkey facilities. We support projects at all stages of delivery, ensuring safe, regulatory compliant solutions. We focus on design development, process optimisation, debottlenecking and control of chemical, physical, and biological process, from hydrogen production to carbon capture and transformation through to water and wastewater treatment.

We are looking for candidates with a background in Process engineering design on multi‑disciplinary projects within the municipal and industrial water sectors. With our depth and breadth of skills, our team is currently involved in many exciting projects across the Energy, Water and Resources sectors.

From tackling complex water and wastewater treatment challenges to developing innovative, low‑carbon solutions, your work will have a real and lasting impact.

You'll become part of a growing and collaborative process engineering team, working on a broad range of projects that span the entire project lifecycle. From root cause investigations, feasibility studies and optioneering through to detailed design and commissioning support, you'll have the opportunity to influence key decisions and see your ideas become reality. Working alongside multidisciplinary teams of civil, mechanical, electrical and environmental specialists, you'll help deliver practical and sustainable solutions for our clients and communities.

At Arup, we believe that diverse perspectives drive better outcomes. You'll be encouraged to bring your ideas, develop your expertise, and take ownership of your career while working in an environment that values learning, innovation and collaboration.
