Civil Structural Engineers – Engineer, Senior & Principal

Civil Structural Engineers – Engineer, Senior & Principal

Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach have set us apart for 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

At Arup, structural engineering is at the heart of what we do. Our engineers design safe, efficient, and sustainable structures, combining technical expertise with innovative thinking. Through collaboration and advanced digital tools, we solve complex engineering challenges and develop resilient, high-performing structural solutions that shape the future of engineering.

Climate change
• Climate change refers to long‑term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

Scotland's infrastructure is undergoing significant transformation to support decarbonisation, energy security, economic growth and community resilience. We are seeking talented Civil Structural Engineers at a range of grades (including Engineer, Senior Engineer and Principal Engineer) to join our growing Glasgow based Energy Water & Resources team to support the delivery of projects that will make this possible.

Our current portfolio covers a wide range of multi-disciplinary projects in the Renewable Energy, Water and Maritime sectors. Typical examples include; pumped storage hydro developments, HV transmission infrastructure, major wastewater utility renewals and ports and harbour regeneration projects, alongside a proven track record in urban realm redevelopment and wider civil engineering infrastructure. These projects range from local interventions to nationally significant programmes, providing opportunities to work on schemes that create lasting value for communities, industry and the environment.

Arup has had an office in Glasgow for close to 60 years now and you will be joining a well-established and growing team. You will have the opportunity to work alongside highly experienced engineers, project managers and specialists from across the UK and beyond, contributing to projects that span a broad range of sectors and disciplines.

You will have the opportunity to work across the full project lifecycle, from initial concept stage and feasibility studies through to detailed design, project delivery and construction support. Whether supporting project development in its early stages or helping to solve complex challenges during delivery, you will play a key role in shaping practical and sustainable engineering solutions.

Our projects and clients continue to evolve alongside changing industry priorities, so we are looking for engineers who are curious, adaptable and motivated to learn. In return, we will support your professional growth through exposure to challenging projects, collaboration with leading specialists and opportunities to develop both technical and leadership skills.

You will take ownership of project delivery activities, help shape technical solutions, and contribute to the development of both our clients' projects and the wider team. As our Glasgow team continues to grow, you will have genuine opportunities to influence project delivery, support business development activities and help shape the future direction of our civil engineering capability.

Is this role right for you?

Your responsibilities will vary depending on your seniority, with increasing responsibility at Senior and Principal Engineer levels for leading, influencing and supporting project delivery and management activities.

• Deliver project work across the full project lifecycle, from feasibility and concept design through to detailed design, construction support, retrofit and remediation.
• Undertake complex structural analysis and design across a range of situations, including aggressive environments and non-standard loads.
• Produce and review structural designs, calculations, reports, drawings and digital models.
• Coordinate with civil, MEP and geotechnical disciplines to deliver integrated project solutions.
• Lead technical delivery, maintaining high standards of quality, safety, innovation and engineering excellence.
• Collaborate with clients, stakeholders and colleagues to understand and respond to project requirements.
• Mentor and support junior engineers, providing technical guidance, coaching and day-to-day development.
