In South Africa we employ 80 people out of 3 offices (Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban) supporting both clients in South Africa and from across Africa. Multi-disciplinary teams support clients in the technology, property, science and industry, energy, infrastructure advisory, cities planning, and design sectors.

**The Opportunity**:
We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic consultant to join Arup’s team in South Africa to drive the growth of climate and wider sustainable development services in Sub-Saharan Africa with a particular focus on climate, cities and economic advisory services.

You will also be a member of Arup’s global team of climate and sustainability professionals receiving active support from the portfolio leadership, from the skills cadre and the UK based international development group.

**Is this role right for you?**

You will be expected to work closely with office leaders in South Africa supporting the overarching vision and business plan for Arup, South Africa and with the Arup’s international development group based in the UK. As the climate and sustainable services lead for Africa you will be expected to have experience across adaptation, mitigation and resilience. You should have a detailed understanding of Just Transition finance and programming and understand how climate challenges interplay with energy accessibility, economic growth and employment issues.

You will be a key integrator for Arup’s business in South Africa and beyond, ensuring that our technical skills are brought together to address the impact of climate change across our key business sectors.

There will be an early opportunity to develop the depth and breadth of your team, bringing in additional technical team resource across climate & sustainability, cities, planning and design and economic advisory services to further enable a strong multi-disciplinary blend of local experience together with full reach back into wide ranging, globally excellent technical skills.
