• Manage projects from initial brief through to completion
• Produce high-quality technical reports for planning and compliance
• Mentor and support junior consultants, providing technical guidance and oversight
• Liaise with clients, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure smooth project delivery
• Ensure work is delivered on time, within budget, and to a high technical standard
Requirements
Essential
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in acoustic consultancy
• Professional membership of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA)
• Strong technical capability across both environmental and building acoustics
• Proven experience managing projects and delivering reports independently
• Ability to mentor and develop junior staff
• Strong communication skills and client-facing confidence
Desirable
• Stronger experience in either environmental or building acoustics, with some experience in the other discipline
What’s in It For You
• 23 days of annual leave plus bank holidays
• Stakeholder pension scheme
• Paid IOA membership
• CPD / training support
• Flexible/hybrid working (depending on the individual candidate)
• Performance bonus (depending on circumstances)
• Car allowance/mileage (if travel required)
• Access to wellbeing and HR support resources
• Supportive, growing consultancy environment with progression opportunities
