Arup is a global design, engineering, project management and business consulting firm. Outstanding solutions, innovation and value characterise our work and we aim to provide a consistently excellent multi-disciplinary service world-wide.
Arup is committed to sustainable design, to its increasing incorporation in our projects and to industry-wide sustainability initiatives.
Formed in 1946, the firm now has over 8000 staff based in 79 offices in 35 countries with projects in more than 160 countries.
The firm, which is wholly owned in trust for the benefit of its employees, enjoys total financial independence and has an annual turnover in excess of £400 million. All profits, after provision for prudent reserves, are distributed to staff. Substantial investment is devoted to improving technical standards through the continuing development of its members and through new techniques of design and management.
Great importance is placed in individual and local responsibility. Each project is the responsibility of a Project Director who has access to specialist skills within the firm.
We work in multi-disciplinary teams, operate formal quality systems and structure our teams to achieve effective co-ordination, clear lines of responsibility and communication. By these measures, we add value to our clients’ projects and achieve quality on which they can rely.
