Joining Arup
Arup's purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

There is an ever‑growing demand for virgin resources, especially those needed to support the energy transition and the development of growing cities. We help clients across the minerals and metals sectors extract and provide the materials society relies on, in a responsible and sustainable way. Our work focuses on reducing the environmental footprint of mines through approaches such as extraction via tunnels, integration of renewable energy, and sustainable water provision and management. We also support the development of mining sites and their associated logistics infrastructure, ensuring they are resilient, efficient, and aligned with future‑ready, low‑carbon principles.
