Arup is a global consultancy with advisory and technical expertise across more than 150 disciplines. We guide, plan and design the future of the built environment. Globally, each year we recruit hundreds of graduates and students who help us see things differently and solve the most complex challenges facing our clients, climate and communities.
Our Energy Advisory team (of over 40 people) operates out of the Arup Midlands and West regions. They provide strategic advice to our clients and actively drive the development and delivery of a range of projects across the energy sector, including high voltage transmission systems & resilience, offshore interconnectors, offshore wind, hydrogen and carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS).
Our service offering to our clients is multidisciplinary and highly varied. It includes the development and management of programmes and projects, project delivery, procurement advice and support, technical-commercial analysis including risk analysis, infrastructure development strategy, owner’s engineering support and management consulting. Our clients include some of the UK’s biggest energy companies including National Grid, Uniper, ScottishPower Renewables, SGN and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.
Tackling climate change is arguably the most difficult challenge humanity has faced and overcoming it will require experts from all disciplines and backgrounds to come together and collaborate. Arup has made sustainability and the urgent need to transform the energy system to low carbon its most important priority in response to this challenge, through the launch of our climate services plan. We are recognised as leading consultants in this field and are working for both public and private sector clients on some of the most important advisory and engineering projects in the UK today. This includes advice to central and local governments on decarbonisation strategies, managing innovation programmes for low carbon technologies, delivering design solutions for tomorrow's low carbon energy system, and providing sustainable investment advice.
We provide end-to-end support across the entire project lifecycle — from early strategic planning, business case development, and governance, through to managing the securing of lands & consents, managing the Owner's Engineer role, and even services beyond the delivery phase, into operation & maintenance and decommissioning.
