Graduate Geology​/Rock Mechanics​/Tunnelling Engineer

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.
Arup employs a multi-disciplinary total tunnel design approach to tackle some of the world’s most complex underground challenges. By integrating our skills and experience, our tunnel designs are lower-risk and more efficient, effective, and affordable. Arup’s total tunnel design approach reduces excavation and materials through effective space proofing and lining system optimization and introduces relevant innovations to benefit constructability, operability and sustainability of underground projects.

• Carry out empirical, analytical, and numerical analyses for purposes of tunnel and shaft design (initial support and final lining) for various tunnel construction methods such as drill and blast, sequential excavation method, or TBM bored tunnel
• Interpret and organize design results into project documentation such as Technical Memos Geotechnical Data, Interpretive, or Baseline Reports, or Basis of Design reports;
  Characterize and classify ground conditions for different tunnelling methods based on geotechnical information
• Undertake geological mapping and rock mass classification on site. Apply rock and soil mechanics skills to assess likely failure modes and develop ground support schemes
• Undertake linear and non-linear structural analysis of shotcrete and concrete tunnel linings based on Code requirements using first principles or structural design software packages (SAP, GSA).Make use of automation and established workflows to follow best practice. Develop workflows and ideas for automation where none exist
• Work in multidisciplinary teams for delivery oflarge-scale infrastructure projects for transportation, water/wastewater, or mining. Communicate design work through Preparation of drawing sketches indicating support types, geometry, construction sequencing, and instrumentation. Use tunnel designand rock mechanics software such as FLAC/FLAC3D, UDEC/3
