Data centers with purpose

What if engineering was driven by ideas, not investors?

At Arup, it is. As a firm owned by its members, we have the freedom to prioritize purpose in everything we do. We are building a team of strategic innovators and resilient leaders who believe a data centre isn't just a data storage facility; it’s a catalyst for a more sustainable and connected future. For our engineers, it's a chance to shape a better, more sustainable world.

We don't have shareholders. We have a shared mission. This independence gives us the freedom to focus on long term-impact, to challenge convention, and to solve the problems that truly matter. If you are driven to create work of enduring value, this is where you belong. 

We believe a data center should give back more than it takes

A data center designed by Arup experts can become a vital community asset. We call this being a Good Neighbour, a design philosophy that moves beyond simple efficiency to create a positive impact on the surrounding ecosystem. We engineer systems that can redirect waste heat to community assets, design for water circularity, and create projects that actively support the local grid and environment. 

As concerns grow over the sector’s use of water, energy, and its wider environmental footprint, we see an opportunity for transformation. We work with some of the world’s largest technology companies and data centre operators to turn bold ideas into scalable, sustainable, and regenerative solutions.

This is a place for a different kind of engineer

We are building a team to solve the complex challenges that the current boom has created. We are looking for talent who are driven by the pursuit of lasting excellence. If you thrive on solving intricate problems and value long-term impact, you’ll find your purpose here.
