Job description

Do you have a strong background in acoustic engineering and a passion for applying it to technically complex, high-performance environments?

As Senior Acoustic Engineer at Black & White Engineering in Manila, you will deliver acoustic and CFD analysis across mission-critical infrastructure, working as part of a specialist multidisciplinary team where your expertise will be central to design outcomes.

This is a role for a technically driven engineer who wants to work on challenging projects, advance their skills and grow within a global consultancy.

What’s in it for you?

Technically demanding work

You will undertake acoustic CFD studies of data centre buildings, thermal modelling to assess equipment performance, and feasibility studies comparing design solutions across cost, savings and benefit. The work is analytically rigorous and will stretch your technical capabilities across a broad range of scenarios and building types.

A specialist niche with real demand

Acoustic expertise in mission-critical data centre environments is increasingly sought after. This role gives you the opportunity to deepen your specialism in a sector where technical precision directly impacts project success, building a profile and skill set that carries significant weight in the market.

You will work within a multidisciplinary design team, liaising with mechanical, electrical, civil and structural colleagues throughout the design process. Your acoustic and CFD input will complement disciplines including fire engineering and computational modelling, giving you a broad view of how complex projects come together.

You will represent Black & White Engineering at external meetings and events, advise clients on technical progress and prepare and deliver presentations on your findings. It is an opportunity to build your professional profile and develop the communication skills that support progression into senior roles.

Structured development and CPD

You will be supported in maintaining and advancing your professional accreditation, staying current with codes, standards and innovations through a structured CPD approach. Black & White Engineering invests in the development of its engineers, and your growth within the discipline will be actively supported.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Degree in Acoustics, Engineering, Environmental Science or a related field (Diploma, BSc/BEng or MSc). Graduate or full membership of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) is desirable.
• Strong knowledge of noise regulations and standards, with proven ability to undertake acoustic analysis across a range of internal and external scenarios.
• Proficiency in acoustic modelling software such as CadnaA or SoundPLAN, alongside building analysis tools including IESVE, Rhino and Grasshopper.
• Experience with thermal modelling to assess equipment performance and derating factors in data centre or commercial environments.
• Basic CFD knowledge, with experience in Ansys, StarCCM+ or equivalent software considered a strong advantage.
• Good communication and presentation skills, with the ability to advise colleagues and clients on technical aspects of the work with clarity and confidence.

In addition, you will be joining a community that focuses on learning and development through regular knowledge sharing sessions, investment in accredited professional courses or educational programmes. You can set the pace for your professional development, and whatever path you choose, you will receive relevant support.
