I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arup (London, England) in Jun 2015
Interview
In my opinion it was too long. The recruitment process consisted in an informal chat and two interviews plus an exam or test. The level of detail they asked was really high. The technical test was difficult but after it we chatted about the best answer given in the past.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Arup in Nov 2022
Interview
The interview was in 2 stages. The first stage was with the immediate team and the second stage was with senior management.
Questions focused on:
- Why I was considering leaving my previous role
- What goal I wanted to achieve in my time at Arup

Question 1
How do you understand and apply the Ove Arup principles.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arup (West Bromwich, England) in Nov 2021
Interview
Applied on Arup website, was contacted by HR to undertake a initial phone screening call. Screening call went well, woman was very friendly. Asked questions about what I know about the company, why I want to work for Arup, salary expectations, notice period etc.
Second part including a Teams interview with 2 staff. Staff were very bland and not very responsive, interview felt uncomfortable. Lasted about 1 hour. Contacted by email 2 weeks later to say I didnt get the job.
I dont come from a consultancy background but I was asked questions which would seem difficult from a individual who works in a different sector.
Unfortunately interviewers were not very understanding of this, could have engaged more to get to know me personally.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Arup in Sep 2021
Interview
Initial Phone Screening
1 week later had a Teams interview with 2 interviewers. They were friendly and easy to engage with.
Offer took about 3 weeks to come through after that.
