**The Opportunity**
Arup are at the forefront of transformative rail around the world, helping shape tomorrow’s sustainable travel. Rail projects demand a complex mix of skills and insights - from initial strategy and economics, through to engineering, people-centred design, operations and asset management. Success depends on bringing all these elements together - brilliantly. That’s why our technical expertise is always backed by sharp strategic thinking, whether we’re optimising existing assets and services, or designing whole new railways and stations. We work for a great range of UK based and International public sector and private sector clients including Network Rail, DfT, Great British Railways, HS2 Ltd, TOCs / FOCs and Local Authorities on a wide range of rail-based solutions.
At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective - in which we encourage individuality to thrive. Our strength comes from how we respect, share and connect our diverse experiences, perspectives and ideas. You will have the opportunity do socially useful work that has meaning - to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve.
**Is this role right for you?**
**Requirements**:
- Understanding of rail industry structure and policy.
- Ability to develop and influence strategy and policy.
- Experience in operational strategy development, including development of outputs such as Indicative Train Service Specifications and Concept Train Plans.
- Assessing future impacts of timetable changes and introduction of new train services, including the use of bespoke software (RailSys, Attune etc).
- Understanding of industry performance data, demand assessment and fares & ticketing.
- Experience of engaging and presenting to Train Operators and Industry Partners.
