Job Satisfaction at Arup Singapore

As a graduate engineer, my role is more on supporting my senior engineer in calculations, model simulations and responding to the client's questions.

As an architectural and urban designer, I assist in the design and delivery of projects by helping to develop the masterplan concept; create relevant drawings, diagrams and renders; as well as assist in report writing. I was also a co-PM for a project, helping to coordinate a large interdisciplinary team.

I am given tasks that the team believes I can carry out independently. They are also present for me to go and clarify things with. We are a small team and as such the learning curve is steep but we have that safety net to learn and fall down. Knowing that our team leader trust us and gives us tasks shows that the team believes in our growth and capabilities.
