Arup has been recognized by the premier global business media Forbes and Business Insider and intelligence platforms IJGlobal and Infralogic for its impact in the North American advisory sector. These honors across management consulting and investor advisory reflect the firm’s work supporting clients to make informed decisions and deliver impactful projects across infrastructure, energy, technology and the built environment.

“These recognitions mark an exciting moment for Arup in the Americas as we look to deepen both our impact and relationships with clients across the broad range of sectors in which we operate,” says Tim Treharne, Arup’s Americas Advisory Services Leader. “Whether helping businesses think through complex multidisciplinary organizational and asset challenges or assisting clients in making evidence-based investment decisions, we’re committed to working in partnership to produce optimized outcomes.” 

Arup has been named on two national lists for leadership in management consulting: 

  • Forbes America’s Best Management Consulting Firms
  • Business Insider Americas Top Management Consulting Firms 

Arup’s practice brings together traditional management consulting with technical engineering disciplines. Our advisors work with both public and private sector clients to implement realistic, people-first solutions that create resilient organizations ready for tomorrow’s challenges.  

Both rankings are based on independent research and spotlight consulting firms with strong reputations and influence in the market. This recognition reflects the continued growth of Arup’s management consulting offering in the United States, building on the firm’s strong international experience and previous honor as a global best firm by Forbes in 2025.   

Arup’s investor advisory practice also received multiple acknowledgements: 

  • IJGlobal North America Technical Advisor of the Year
  • IJGlobal North America Market Impact Award for Hyperion Data Center Megaproject
  • Infralogic #1 Technical Advisor in North America 

This practice focuses on assisting clients in making evidence-based decisions that manage risks and optimize returns. Arup’s advisory team supports clients in navigating complex infrastructure and energy environments backed by technical and commercial insight.  

The IJGlobal Awards and Infralogic rankings both recognize advisory firms working on complex infrastructure transactions with a focus on technical prowess. Arup’s support of the Hyperion Data Center Megaproject and its recognition by IJGlobal is just one example of the scale and influence Arup contributes to in the data center and energy market. In addition to being named in North America, Arup has been recognized as Global Technical Advisor of the Year for the past five years by IJGlobal and #1 Technical Advisor in the World by deal volume by Infralogic advising on $146 billion of investment in 2025.
