Senior Engineer - Aviation

Job description

This job posting isn't available in all website languages.

The transport sector is transforming rapidly. Every passenger is a smart, multi-modal traveller, pushing transport systems to digitise and become more responsive to users. Climate change means operators need to find ways to both expand services and decarbonise. Across rail, roads, aviation, and maritime, transport operators need to invest for a different future while maintaining the ageing networks they already own. Arup is at the heart of these trends, helping authorities, network operators, and the travelling public to arrive at solutions that work for them.
