Shape a meaningful future at Arup in Berlin

Arup has decades of experience in designing resilient cities. We are increasingly using data and digital tools and are looking for support for our Berlin team in delivering a diverse range of exceptional projects with a focus on “Nature+”.

Nature+ is our approach that places nature at the centre of urban planning. Biodiversity is becoming increasingly important because it strengthens the ecological stability and resilience of cities, supports residents’ wellbeing and creates economic benefits. From rewilding and animal-aided design to sponge city concepts and heat resilience, our goal is to work with cities to create more livable urban spaces.

Would you like to work with our multidisciplinary team to develop solutions to the urgent challenges of our time? How can cities and regions prepare for climate change? How do we design cities in a participatory and inclusive way? How can we transform grey spaces into green and blue oases for people and the environment? And what technologies and data can we use to advance the mobility and energy transition?
