Apprenticeships

Applications for most apprenticeship programmes will open in late October. In the meantime, you can register your interest by signing up to our job alerts. We'll then reach out to you with more information about our vacancies once they have been opened.

You’ll find deadlines for specific roles included in the job description and within the advertisement on our website. We process applications as soon as we receive them and so we strongly advise candidates to submit early applications.

Our apprenticeships are full time roles which come with a salary. Just like any other job, you’re expected to choose a location that’s suitable for you, and your salary is provided for you to cover your living costs.

You can only complete one application during each recruitment period, so please only apply for the position that suits you best. Additional applications will be regretted.

You’ll virtually meet the hiring team and recent apprentices, take part in a group activity and an interview. You will also meet with a member of the Early Careers Team to discuss learning, development, rewards and benefits. Assessment centres may vary depending on the role, but you’ll be given more information in your invite.

Most of our apprentices start work in September and attending our welcome event.

Arup is committed to making all stages of our recruitment process accessible to candidates with disabilities. We strongly encourage you to share any adjustments that will support your participation in our recruitment process.

You’ll get the chance to tell us about any disability or learning difference on your application form and before coming to the assessment. We’ll then make the appropriate arrangements for you. The information gathered during this process is only used to make reasonable adjustments and is not considered in any other context of your application.

As an apprentice, you’ll study at a local college or university on day release, working towards an accredited qualification and combine this experience with workplace learning.

Whichever your chosen apprenticeship, you’ll be given a mentor who’ll guide you through your professional and personal development. You’ll also have regular contact with our Learning and Development team.

All our apprenticeships are fulltime permanent positions, there is a 6 months’ probation period which we will ensure you have the skills and support needed to pass.

We work with a number of educational institutions across the UK, and we ensure we can select the best possible provider to meet the needs of the role, as well as ensuring the location is in as close proximity to your location as possible. When you will need to travel to attend classes, we will ensure you are given suitable time to do this.

As we work in multidisciplinary offices, there are various roles available in each of our 16 UK locations. These locations are; Belfast, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, Solihull, Whitehaven, Winchester and York.

Our offices are open and we have adopted a more flexible hybrid model known as Work Unbound that will gives our members flexibility in deciding how and where they work. Many of our events taking place during Autumn / Winter 2022 will take place virtually. We encourage you to review our events page regularly for updates. Recruitment will continue to be organised in an online format to ensure the safety of all.
