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.

Join one of Arup's centres of excellence for hydrogeology, based in our UK North offices.

We are looking for talented graduates to join our Hydrogeology / Groundwater team. From your first day, you’ll join an unrivalled community of experts, where everyone is supported in their career path and encouraged to work towards a professional qualification.

Graduates in our Hydrogeology team will be working in a multi-disciplinary office, preparing hydrogeological assessments, models and designs in co-ordination with a team of expert hydro geologists for projects across a wide range of markets. Candidates will be expected to have a good comprehension of groundwater modelling and some experience with GIS for interrogating and presenting data would be useful. They will provide input to multi-disciplinary projects and groundwater-specific projects covering groundwater resources and supply, groundwater control and management, contamination and geothermal engineering both in the UK and internationally.

Candidates will help us to deliver effective and professional services for a range of varied and high-profile clients. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of our design teams, you will also work alongside experts in other Arup disciplines. With support you will get the opportunity to work on projects across the UK and overseas from time to time.
