The Opportunity
This position will be with the Specialist Technology, Analytics and Research (STAR) team in Toronto, ON, a center of excellence for technical innovation in the built environment. We employ cutting edge technologies and methods to advance Arup into new markets which usher in a safer, healthier, sustainable and resilient future. We are a multi-disciplinary team with deep technical expertise in the built environment and a passion for increasing the resilience of communities. We can virtually simulate almost anything in the built environment, utilizing the best of numerical modelling (FEM, CFD), risk modeling and digital innovation to predict the physical, financial, and social impacts of natural hazards. Our team has expertise in structural dynamics, wind engineering, fluid mechanics and stress analysis.
Responsibilities of this specific role will include, but will not be limited to, the following:
- Undertake numerical analyses using first-principles methods to solve our clients’ most difficult challenges
- Conduct studies to understand the risk posed by natural hazards and the physical threat of climate change.
- Perform and report wind engineering studies to determine structural wind loads, pedestrian comfort, and microclimate characteristics.
- Perform and report linear and non-linear, static and dynamic structural finite element analysis, principally for structural and geo-engineering applications (e.g. earthquake, wind, and vibration analysis).
- Collaborate with other structural engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, and risk consultants on innovative buildings and infrastructure projects.
- Work on defined tasks under the close supervision of a senior engineer.
We encourage candidates who have interest/proficiency in any of the following:
- Dynamics and seismic design, including performance-based design philosophies
- Materials science and materials engineering
- Computational fluid dynamics and fluid mechanics
- Wind engineering and extreme environmental loading
- Risk and resilience assessment and resilient based design across multiple natural hazards
Is this role right for you?
We’re looking for graduates who are curious and ready to evolve how you think and work. Our strength comes[MH1] from how we respect, share, and connect our diverse experiences, perspectives, and ideas. At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective – in which we encourage individuality to thrive. If you can share your knowledge and ideas and encourage others to do the same; whilst having a desire to deliver excellent services for clients – we’d like to hear from you.

- Interest in the built environment.
Preferred
- Cover letter included in application submission.
- Minimum 3.0 GPA or higher.
- A MS or PhD in engineering, science, or risk management is desirable but not required.
- Proficiency in non-linear finite element method analysis and/or computational fluid dynamics.
- Experience or familiarity with the built environment, i.e. buildings, transportation infrastructure, and other civil infrastructure.
