Do you want to apply your experience in infrastructure to projects that truly matter? At Arup, we are looking for an experienced Project Manager who not only solves complex issues but also inspires our next generation of talent.

Arup's purpose, shared values, and collaborative approach have distinguished us for more than 80 years and provide direction to how we shape a better world.

At Arup, we work towards a better world. We are an independent engineering firm owned by our employees, comprising designers, planners, engineers, consultants, and technical experts, dedicated to sustainable development and meaningful work that truly matters. Come work with us in the Netherlands and help realize some of the most challenging and complex projects within infrastructure. You will be in contact with 18,000 employees across the globe.

Inspired by the philosophy of our founders, our infra team constantly pushes the boundaries of 'Total Design'. We create innovative and sustainable solutions that exceed expectations. Infrastructure projects require a cost-effective, efficient, and risk-aware approach. In close collaboration with our clients, we realize bridge programs of every scale, thanks to our multidisciplinary teams and global expertise. Infrastructure design within our team connects disciplines such as geotechnics, hydraulic engineering, bridges, tunnels, railways, and more—and brings people together with a wealth of experience and inspiring stories.

The work of our Rail and Roads & Streets teams ranges from large railway stations and multimodal transport hubs to bridges, tunnels, roads, and urban mobility projects. For example, we work on leading projects such as Zuidasdok, the exploration of a new public transport connection between Amsterdam Sloterdijk and the city center (OVSA), and the renovation of iconic infrastructure projects such as the Van Brienenoordbrug and the Haringvlietbrug.

As a Project Manager within our Rail, Roads & Streets Business, you will lead tenders and realize projects within the Dutch infrastructure market. It is a role in which you make a real external and internal impact—you win new work and build sustainable client relationships, while also coaching and developing the next generation of project managers.
