Reviews
I work in the planning team and enjoy most of the work I do, particularly the more technical side of it and wastewater modelling. I less enjoy the reports that come after but that is part of the job that cannot be avoided, particularly for a graduate.
Hydraulic modelling with TUFLOW. Analysing data and flood model results. Data management and automation.
- Usually long hours. Sometimes, I've had to work on weekends to meet deadlines

Pros and cons of working at Arup Australia
Pros
The meaningful project work that I get to be a part of. I feel engaged and motivated in my role and enjoy coming to work. The team (and office more broadly) are friendly and supportive of my development.
You get to work flexible hours, meaning that you can start and finish when it suits you (obviously as long as you work a minimum of 7.5 hours a day, deliver the work, and attend the meetings you're supposed to).
Ample time and resources are given for training. Interesting projects. Great team, technically and socially.
The culture supports my aim of having good work-life balance. There are many social events during and after business hours.
The company has a very strong environmental stance and will not work on projects they feel could compromise their environmental commitments.
Cons
Sometimes the expectation to complete work I am unfamiliar with can be cumbersome.
The workload can become intense, especially with deadlines on large projects.
Some expectations are not laid out clearly. For example, what can be booked on your timesheet or when your time would be volunteered. - Internal tooling is only partially mature.
Business fluctuates working in a consulting firm which can lead to periods with a lack of project work. Feeling the pressure to be a productive employee with high billability, particularly during these periods of low workflow.
The culture varies between teams, which means that work and support can be variable.
