Joining Arup
Arup has been framework technical consultants for Yorkshire Water for 20 years and on technical frameworks with other UK water companies including Northern Ireland Water, Welsh Water, Severn Trent, and United Utilities. We have a global reach in the water business, providing technical support to internal and external clients around the world.
The team based in Leeds is the hub of water process engineering and the center of expertise in Arup, supporting local clients and offices throughout the UK and globally.
The Opportunity
As Senior Process Engineer, you will support the lead engineer in the growth of our water business by executing projects with internal and external clients in the UK and globally as part of the wider Arup Water business. Your role will involve process audits, investigations, feasibility studies, and the outline and detailed design of drinking water treatment works and associated systems.
You will enjoy developing client briefs into executable projects, building costed proposals, presenting ideas and concepts to clients, and demonstrating technical ability and competence.

The following skills and knowledge are of interest:
1. Knowledge of water chemistry
