Overview
My role at Arup is to assist with the design of mechanical services for a variety of different projects. This could be by providing layouts for ventilation ducts or heating and cooling pipes, or performing calculations to size these ducts/pipes. Another part of my job is to perform energy calculations using IES.
Skills
I have learnt many new skills in different software's such as IES, Excel, Revit and Bluebeam. I have developed my team-working, time management, and presenting skills throughout the year through projects and both internal and external meetings. I have also learnt what it means to be to be an engineer within this industry and learnt skills that would help me in the future
Responsibilities
I was given quite a lot of responsibility as my placement progressed which helped me develop my skills and put those that I have learnt into projects. Towards the end of my placement I was trusted to complete tasks on my own, with the knowledge that I could ask for help whenever I needed it.
Support & Guidance
I received a great deal of support during my placement, I had a buddy at the beginning who helped me in my first few weeks to meet the team and made me feel welcome. I had a lot of assistance when working on projects from the mechanical leader and other members of my team. I knew I could ask for help when I needed it
Culture
The general atmosphere at Arup was good, everyone was very friendly and made me feel welcome as part of the team right from the start. We had a variety of culture sessions for people to express their opinions on what could be improved within the team which was a great benefit.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my placement, I have made a lot of good friends throughout the year and learned a great deal that will help me in my last year at university and my future career in Engineering.
Yes
Apply early, come to the assessment day with some knowledge of what Arup does as a company and where you would fit in/ benefit the company. Recommend applying if you are interested in design work, it's a great place to work with many opportunities
