About The Position
At Arup, we are dedicated to sustainable development and socially useful work that has meaning. As a Tunnelling Engineering Intern, you will have the opportunity to engage in empirical, analytical, and numerical analyses for tunnel and shaft design, focusing on various construction methods such as drill and blast, sequential excavation method, or TBM. Your role will involve interpreting and organizing design results into project documentation, including Technical Memos, Geotechnical Data, Interpretive Reports, and Basis of Design reports. You will also characterize and classify ground conditions based on geotechnical information, and communicate your design work through the preparation of drawing sketches that indicate support types, geometry, construction sequencing, and instrumentation. In this position, you will utilize tunnel design software such as Plaxis 2D/3D, FLAC/FLAC3D, UDEC/3DEC, RocScience, or FracMan. You will undertake geological mapping and rock mass classification on-site, applying your knowledge of rock and soil mechanics to assess likely failure modes and develop ground support schemes. Additionally, you will conduct linear and non-linear structural analysis of shotcrete and concrete tunnel linings based on code requirements, using first principles or structural design software packages like SAP and GSA. You will also be expected to develop workflows and ideas for automation where none exist, ensuring best practices are followed. Working in multidisciplinary teams, you will contribute to the delivery of large-scale infrastructure projects in transportation, water/wastewater, or mining. This internship is designed for graduates who are curious and ready to evolve their thinking and work processes. At Arup, we value individuality and encourage our members to share their knowledge and ideas while delivering excellent services for our clients.
