The Opportunity

  • Lead the development and execution of a strategic maritime market plan for SEA, identifying priority clients, key pursuits, and growth opportunities aligned with Arup’s global vision.
  • Drive business development and project success by overseeing pursuit and bid activity, collaborating closely with Country Leaders and Client Relationship Managers to secure and deliver impactful work.
