Arup's purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.
The Opportunity
Our award-winning Business and Investor Advisory (BIA) team has been recognised as European Technical Advisor of the Year for the last four years, and are looking to add to the Transport Due Diligence team. The team works with investors in transport infrastructure to help understand and value businesses by assessing a range of complex issues.
Joining as a Consultant in the BIA team will give you immediate exposure to clients. You will work alongside technical specialists to help provide investor-focused advice on potential acquisitions and divestments of infrastructure assets.
Your role will be to quickly develop an understanding of the assets that our clients are assessing, provide a view on the company and the key technical risks and opportunities the company faces, and produce a business plan to inform the financial valuation of the investment.
The role will require a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis skills, and project activities could include:
- Data review, information gathering and report writing
- Review of operational and asset management practices
- Assessment of the condition of infrastructure assets
- Review of concession agreements and other construction and supplier contracts
- Capital and operational cost review, benchmarking, and modelling in Excel
Our projects generally last between 4-6 weeks, meaning that in a year you can work on a number of different projects across a variety of sectors, assets and geographies, giving you exposure to different clients.
At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective - in which we encourage individuality to thrive. You will have the opportunity to do socially useful work that has meaning - to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve.
Is this role right for you?
We would like to speak with people who have:
- Previously worked on or delivered technical due diligence projects within transport or another infrastructure sector.
- A technical understanding of infrastructure assets and how infrastructure is developed, operated or managed.
- Experience reviewing and navigating any of the following: financial models, opex/capex/lifecycle cost models, asset management processes and systems, or expertise in agreement/contract reviews.
- A degree in civil engineering or other engineering disciplines (however, economics, finance, business management, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience in these fields may be considered).
At Arup, we care about each member's success, so we can grow together. Guided by our values, we provide an attractive total reward package that recognises the contribution of each of our members to our shared success. As well as competitive, fair and equitable pay, we offer a career in which all of our members can belong, grow and thrive - through benefits that support health and wellbeing, a wide range of learning opportunities and many possibilities to have an impact through the work they do.
