Every year, we recruit interns and summer vacation students across our Asia Pacific locations, including, but not limited to, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines.
From day one, you’ll be supported by your team, who are eager to help you settle in, build connections, and guide you through your projects and day-to-day work.
No two roles are the same, and here you’ll have freedom combined with personal responsibility from the very start. Our internships are varied, challenging and rewarding, designed to provide you with real skills that you can carry forward as your career progresses.
Successful internships often lead to graduate positions, therefore this is a great opportunity to find out what it feels to belong to an extraordinary collective at Arup.
