This role sits within the Building Engineering team and focuses on electrical engineering for rail-related building services work. The position offers the chance to contribute to a wide range of projects across local, national, and international rail programmes, supporting both technical design and project delivery. You would be part of a wider engineering group that works across the UK and globally, helping major transport clients achieve well-coordinated electrical solutions that are practical, compliant, and fit for purpose.<\/p>\n

The work is varied and senior in nature. You would be expected to bring technical judgement to electrical design tasks, support delivery across multiple projects, and help strengthen the team\u00e2\u0080\u0099s electrical capability over time. The role also involves using modern digital design tools, collaborating with colleagues in different locations, and helping shape better digital approaches where standard tools do not fully meet project needs. In addition to design work, you would communicate with clients and internal stakeholders, helping to track progress, manage risks, and keep key milestones on course.<\/p>\n

What you would do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Provide electrical engineering input across a broad portfolio of rail building services projects, from early design development through to delivery.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute to the creation of technically robust electrical designs that are coordinated with the wider multidisciplinary team.<\/li>\n
  • Support the delivery of rail programmes at local, national, and international level.<\/li>\n
  • Work closely with colleagues across the UK and within Arup\u00e2\u0080\u0099s global network to produce integrated engineering outcomes.<\/li>\n
  • Help major clients such as Network Rail and regional transport organisations by developing clear, well-structured engineering solutions.<\/li>\n
  • Use Microsoft and Autodesk software tools to support design and project delivery activities.<\/li>\n
  • Identify opportunities to improve digital workflows and help develop alternative approaches when existing tools are not sufficient.<\/li>\n
  • Engage with clients and internal teams in a senior capacity, helping to manage progress, risks, and important delivery dates.<\/li>\n
  • Share knowledge with others and contribute to continuous improvement within the team.<\/li>\n
  • Support a collaborative, inclusive working environment by contributing expertise and helping colleagues develop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What the team is looking for<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Chartered Engineer status, or active progress toward chartership through IET or CIBSE.<\/li>\n
    • Strong experience in electrical engineering design.<\/li>\n
    • Experience delivering multidisciplinary design projects in the UK within a consultancy environment.<\/li>\n
    • Previous involvement in rail electrical design, including knowledge of rail-specific design stages and the standards used by major UK rail clients.<\/li>\n
    • Experience with assurance, systems engineering, or verification processes used on UK rail projects.<\/li>\n
    • A history of producing electrical designs that are compliant, technically sound, and suitable for the built environment.<\/li>\n
    • Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively with clients, colleagues, and project stakeholders.<\/li>\n
    • Confidence using digital design tools and adapting to new digital methods when project needs require it.<\/li>\n
    • The ability to operate at senior level, taking responsibility for coordination, delivery, and technical quality.<\/li>\n
    • An interest in working in a team that values collaboration, inclusion, knowledge sharing, and ongoing improvement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Rewards and benefits<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Competitive pay that is fair and equitable.<\/li>\n
      • Profit share, so members can participate in the results of the organisation\u00e2\u0080\u0099s collective work.<\/li>\n
      • Private medical insurance.<\/li>\n
      • Life assurance.<\/li>\n
      • Accident insurance.<\/li>\n
      • Income protection cover.<\/li>\n
      • Flexible benefits that can be adapted to support your wellbeing and personal circumstances.<\/li>\n
      • A career environment designed to help people belong, develop, and thrive.<\/li>\n
      • Access to learning opportunities and professional growth.<\/li>\n
      • The opportunity to work on meaningful projects that create positive impact for clients and communities.<\/li>\n
      • An employee-owned model that gives members freedom and responsibility in shaping the organisation\u00e2\u0080\u0099s direction.<\/li>\n
      • A strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, supported by internal networks covering race and cross-cultural working, gender equity, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and disability inclusion.<\/li>\n
      • Support for accessibility and reasonable adjustments during recruitment and in the workplace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
