What is our favorite Arup project that you have worked on to date?

One of my favorite projects began with me helping develop an energy model as an intern. The client was open to great sustainability designs that involved fuel cells and geothermal systems. When I later joined full-time, I participated in the mechanical design of the same project. Along the way, I enjoyed that I was able to learn from the different interactions I had with the project members and see the development flourish during the design phases.

What does a day to day look like for you?

I work in a hybrid model and go to the office three days a week. I get to network and collaborate with many different disciplines. Since I work in building design, I meet weekly with Architects and Structural, Civil, and Electrical Engineers for project coordination. I am early in my career, so I have guidance and support if I need it. I have also observed that senior members have support from each other. I have had opportunities to gain experience with different software and tools used for design such as Revit and have been able to accompany senior engineers on job sites to make sure everything meets our design requirements.
