Joining Arup

Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

We are seeking a Bridge & Civil Structures (BCS) Engineer to join our Transportation and Civils Team in Manila. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in multidisciplinary environments and is passionate about delivering high‑quality engineering for major infrastructure projects

As a BCS Engineer, you will support technical due diligence, feasibility studies, front‑end engineering, and both preliminary and detailed design across a broad range of projects. You will design cost‑effective and efficient bridge and civil structures, provide high‑quality design review, and contribute to technical advisory services. You will work closely with the BCS Lead Engineer and collaborate with other disciplines to elevate engineering design quality, develop standardised workflows, and improve project delivery efficiency. Depending on capability, you may also be delegated to lead small to medium projects and supervise junior engineers.

The Opportunity

• Assist in the technical delivery of diverse infrastructure projects—bridges, viaducts, rail/road structures, culverts, soil and liquid retaining structures, marine and coastal structures, energy structures, water facilities, buildings, and large site developments.
• Work with minimal supervision while undertaking engineering tasks and leading project components.
• Lead resource planning, supervision, and management of engineers and drafters for timely project delivery.
• Participate in or chair kick‑off, coordination, and progress meetings with clients and stakeholders.
• Prepare, manage, and archive technical documents, drawings, and reports.
• Conduct and, when required, lead condition assessments and structural integrity surveys.
• Coordinate effectively with other disciplines to ensure integrated engineering outcomes.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers as part of their technical development.

  Linear infrastructure (highways, bridges, rail)
  Water projects (Stormwater, WTP, WWTP, STP, pipelines, sewer networks)
  Energy (solar, wind, hydropower, LNG, substations, transmission)
  Marine/coastal structures and large site developments (airports, reclamation, industrial parks, solar/wind farms)
• Extensive knowledge of engineering principles: steel, concrete, soil mechanics, water, construction techniques.
• Practical application of local (NBCP, NSCP, DPWH) and international codes (ASCE, ACI, AISC, AASHTO, FHWA, ASTM, BS, Eurocodes, AS/NZ).
• Strong proficiency in analysis & design software: STAAD, MIDAS Civil, ETABS, SAP2000, Strand7, SpaceGass, Oasys, etc.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD; exposure to Revit Structure, Tekla Structures, Civil3D, OpenRoads, ArcGIS is an advantage.
