About Arup
Arup is a global consultancy providing extensive technical and advisory expertise across the built environment, drawing on more than 150 disciplines to shape infrastructure, buildings, energy and sustainability. Its work spans markets such as rail and high-speed transport, structural and civil engineering, building services, planning, and advisory services, with projects ranging from the Transpennine Route Upgrade to Little Island in New York City.
For international professionals, Arup presents itself as a borderless organisation: its careers portal organises vacancies by region (Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and UKIMEA) with current listings across countries including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Denmark, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Malaysia, and employees describe global project opportunities across offices. The corporate website is published in English, German, French and Spanish, and Arup's Spain-relevant track record includes being approached in 2014 by the Sagrada Família Foundation to help complete the remaining structural design of La Sagrada Família in Barcelona. The available first-party sources do not confirm specific Spanish office locations, so candidates should verify current Spain-based openings directly via jobs.arup.com.
