2023 Graduate Development Programme - Infrastructure null

At Arup you’ll gain first-hand exposure to innovative, sustainable, multi-disciplinary projects from the very start.

Our Graduate Development Program runs over two-years covering a variety of learning and development opportunities, supplemented by on-the job exposure, working with your team and consulting with clients. The combination of formal learning and industry exposure will ensure you have the skills for a successful career and enable you to build your professional network.

The program launches with Graduate Connexion, which brings the entire Australasian graduate cohort together virtually in a variety of learning workshops, events and activities over the first few weeks of the Graduate journey. This includes meeting and hearing from some of our influential leaders and provides the opportunity for networking with graduates from other disciplines from around the region.

Further benefits of the program include:

• Ongoing mentoring from experienced practitioners in your field
• Direct involvement with specialist Skills Networks both regionally and globally
• Ongoing professional development (technical and non-technical) throughout the two years
• Access to an extensive library of professional publications, research and e-learning resources, including LinkedIn Learning, through our Arup University
• Support for career progression, chartership/professional qualification and association membership

Your dedication will be rewarded with a competitive salary package that includes profit share as well as benefits that reflect our respect for our people such as birthday leave, bike loans, social and sporting events and more.

So, what does this mean for me?

Being a graduate at Arup, you will have the opportunity to work on some influential, ‘out-there’ and innovative projects around the world. We are known for providing unique and challenging solutions to our clients, resulting in being part of the creation of some of the global iconic buildings. Think of the Sydney Opera House, the Bird’s Nest and Watercube in Beijing, the Gherkin in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris!

We value our graduates and seek your input and you will be given responsibility and trust as a budding technical expert. We provide all the support and training you need, but we encourage you to push boundaries and achieve to a high calibre. Many of our leadership team started their careers as graduates at Arup and have travelled the world working on unique projects and working with diverse people. As a valued member of the Arup community, you’ll meet with and learn from the senior leadership team.  An Arup journey is truly a ‘choose your own adventure’!

As a permanent employee and member of Arup, you’ll receive all the benefits of working for an independent firm. We share our profits with our staff and the community, not external shareholders – this is your firm. You will have many opportunities to get involved in our community engagement activities, pro-bono projects, and any social events.
