Arup Graduate Scheme 2023

Hi applied to Arup last week, didn't see any threads for the coming graduate scheme so just creating this for discussion! I passed my online application and finished my online test on Friday. Still waiting for reply whether I passed or failed. Is anyone on the same boat as me?

I went through the graduate recruitment with Arup back in 2017 and was offered the Graduate Electrical Engineer (Buildings) job to work at their London office.
I applied early November, did all the online stuff as you mentioned and received the first communication back late November (so about 3 weeks later).
Another week later a careers coordinator got in touch with me asking to confirm my attendance for the interview (assessment centre) held in mid-December.

Things might have changes since then, but this will give you a rough idea on what to expect. Don't be afraid to send them an email and ask for an update, if anything it shows that you're genuinely interested in the job.

I did get the job offer in the end, so ask me anything.

Yep, I've had that too. I got an email that they're going to progress to the next stage of the application process - which is that it's being further reviewed. I don't know if that's meant to be good news or not but I'm trying not to overstress.

So according to details that they have provided in their website it says that If you pass the online assessment test, they will review your application and check that you hold the minimum requirements that they have set. And also review the answers that you've provided to the application form.

So basically they are shortlisting the candidates and decide whether to invite us for the assessment centre or not.

Hey,

I got the same as well, I applied for the Business and Investment consultancy programme. Which programme did you apply to ? Did you receive any further communications?

Well they will judge you by the application answers that you have written, your qualifications and the supporting documents that you have uploaded. So no CV or cover letter

I applied for the Electrical Building Services Engineering. Got an E-mail last week saying I passed my assessment and will contact shortly with an update. Now usually it takes 2 weeks lasting to couple of months depending on the HR and the hiring manager.

The deadline is today i.e the 10th November and after that they will review the application and see whether we are fit for the role and if yes they would invite us to the assessment centre which I think starts at the end of November or starting of December. So yeah fingers crossed.
