The Opportunity

Arup’s Transportation, Logistics, and Urban Planning (TLUP) works with public and private sector clients who are eager to embrace innovation, sustainability, and social impact in planning. Our work includes network optimization to improve opportunity accessibility, traffic modeling and simulation to help engineers identify ways to relieve congestion without costly new construction, and multi-modal planning for campuses that want to be meaningfully integrated with the surrounding neighborhood.

We know that all our work exists in a dynamic, often inequitable environment, in which data is imperfect or not completely transparent. So, while daily tasks vary across team members - whose focus or expertise may be in a technical skill, project management, industry, or other domain - we all share a deep appreciation for how to answer ambiguous, evolving questions that lead to decisions affecting real people. Across all of TLUP, regardless of discipline or industry, we aim to harmonize qualitative and quantitative analysis, engage with stakeholders, and think creatively to deliver contextually responsive and useful solutions. We collaborate with our clients to create great urban places and achieve sustainable planning outcomes in ‘shaping a better world’. Responsibilities of the role will include, but may not be limited to the following:

• Conducting background research on specific locations, strategies or policies
• Data collection and analysis
• Completing and documenting technical analyses
• Report writing
• Performing analyses using a variety of tools including Excel, PowerBI, GIS, R, FME and (depending on the project) more detailed tools such as
• Massmotion, SYNCHRO, Vissim, HASTUS, and Remix.
• Attending team, consultant and client meetings
• Presentations
• Working with people from other disciplines to gain knowledge on new subjects.
