Arup is seeking a **Senior Risk and Resilience Engineer** to join a multidisciplinary team of engineers and risk analysts in our San Francisco office. As part of Arup’s core **Risk and Resilience team** , you will help shape how we quantify, design for, and communicate multi-hazard risk and resilience in the built environment. You will apply advanced modeling and engineering methods to help clients make informed, risk-based decisions about building and infrastructure performance, design standards, and investment priorities.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection where **seismic and/or** **climate risk analysis informs civil and structural engineering,** contributing to projects that improve community safety, functional recovery, and physical resilience to earthquakes, extreme wind, flooding, wildfire, landslides and other hazards. You will collaborate with leading experts across Arup’s global network and develop innovative approaches to integrate resilience thinking into real-world projects. You will have opportunities to deepen your technical expertise and grow as a thought leader in resilience and risk.

The Opportunity

• **Risk and Resilience Analysis:** Conduct quantitative risk modeling for buildings and infrastructure systems exposed to seismic, wind, flood and other natural hazards; develop fragility and consequence functions based on research and engineering principles.

• **Performance-Based Design:** Contribute to or lead performance-based design analyses for buildings and infrastructure, integrating resilience and recovery metrics beyond traditional life-safety objectives.

• **Multi-Hazard Integration:** Support the integration of probabilistic hazard data, climate projections, and performance modeling into design and planning projects.

• **Project and Task Management:** Coordinate multidisciplinary project teams, manage scope, budget and deliverables, and ensure technical excellence throughout.

• **Research and Innovation:** Contribute to internal research initiatives, development of digital tools, and publication of thought leadership in the risk and resilience space.

What’s Unique About This Role

• **Applied innovation:** Bridge the gap between research and practice by bringing cutting-edge methods in risk and resilience into real-world design and planning projects.

• **Cross-disciplinary collaboration:** Work alongside climate experts, data analysts, planners, and civil, structural, mechanical, and other engineers to develop integrated, forward-looking resilience solutions.

• **Impactful projects:** Contribute to landmark resilience programs—ranging from performance-based seismic risk studies for critical infrastructure to climate-informed adaptation strategies for major transportation and energy systems.

• **Global network:** Access Arup’s global expertise in risk and resilience, including partnerships with leading research institutions and global best practices.

**·** **Innovation culture:** Contribute to the development of next-generation tools and methods that advance resilience design and risk quantification.
