Senior Engineer - Pavements

Joining Arup

Our team helps road agencies, asset owners and operators to fund, plan, build, operate and maintain sustainable road and street networks. Our service is multidisciplinary, combining planning, behavioural modelling, design, engineering and environmental insights. Our approach starts from a clear view of the social and economic value of roads and highways, balanced with the needs of multimodal users, surrounding communities and nature. We have decades-long relationships with clients, who trust us to help them navigate change, including decarbonisation, emerging vehicle technologies, evolving road user expectations and ageing road networks.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an enthusiastic Pavement Engineer with excellent design, technical and software skills who enjoys working collaboratively within multi-professional design teams. With teams in Birmingham and Nottingham, you can choose which office to be based from on a hybrid basis. The role will have a focus on pavement design including airfield, highways and maritime environments. You will assist in the production of drawings, specifications and reports to support the project team. If you have demonstrable previous experience in pavement design for infrastructure projects, we want to hear from you!

At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective – in which we encourage individuality to thrive. Our strength comes from how we respect, share and connect our diverse experiences, perspectives and ideas. You will have the opportunity to do socially useful work that has meaning – to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve.

Is this role right for you?

• You will support the Senior Engineer and deliver a variety of projects across a number of infrastructure workstreams including but not limited to aviation, highways, rail and ports and heavy industries.
• You will deliver the preliminary and detailed design of infrastructure projects, primarily in the airside infrastructure space but be flexible to provide support expert advice commissions and other engineering disciplines. This will involve producing calculations, reports and drawings using your experience and knowledge of civil pavement design.
• In this role you will showcase your experience in pavement investigation, evaluation techniques and pavement strengthening design, along with your knowledge of pavement design principles (flexible, rigid and composite pavements).

We are seeking the following skills and experience:

• Qualification in Civil Engineering and demonstrable enthusiasm for pavement work.
• Chartered or working towards Chartership or working towards becoming a Certified Pavement Engineer as per CD 266.
• Membership of an appropriate professional institution (ICE or CIHT).
• Knowledge and understanding of earthworks and pavement materials (Concrete, Asphalt and Hydraulically Bound Materials).
• Experience in analytical pavement design.
