• Planning and undertaking environmental noise monitoring surveys
• Completing noise impact assessments for planning and development projects
• Providing acoustic design and mitigation advice

• Strong CPD and professional development support
• Support towards professional membership and further qualifications
• Exposure to a wide variety of environmental and building acoustics projects
• Excellent opportunity for further progression
• A friendly, close-knit working environment
• The opportunity to take ownership of projects rather than simply completing one element of larger schemes

This position would suit an experienced Acoustic Consultant or Senior Acoustic Consultant who is looking to step into a role offering more responsibility, technical variety and long-term progression.
