Our PPM function works with clients across numerous industries, providing talented teams of Programme and Project Managers who support projects throughout the whole project or programme lifecycle. We have been experiencing significant demand for programme and project management and delivery partner roles across the UK. This has involved a range of major infrastructure and building estate programmes, urban regeneration, strategy development and city-wide transformation programmes including net zero commissions.

Our North Advisory business is seeking an experienced project manager to join our growing PPM team. We are looking for someone who would help support major project deliver and business development activities for our clients in the infrastructure sector. You will lead the management and oversight of all aspects of project and programme delivery, representing Arup as the day-to-day project manager on a diverse range of projects.

We are looking for:

A background of knowledge transfer and capacity building with client teams, supporting their learning and capability building as a key outcome.

Familiarity with engaging with client programme boards and steering groups, including in politically complex situations.
Skills in implementing and utilising digital tools and systems in the delivery of complex programmes across a broad range of project management disciplines.
A well established background in PPM across energy, water & transport sectors.
