Ready to turn your love of physics, maths, or acoustics into a career that gets you out of the classroom and into the real world? We’re on the lookout for a bright, enthusiastic graduate to join our clients acoustic consultancy team — and no, this isn’t a desk-bound, number-crunching-only kind of job (unless you want it to be sometimes). What You’ll Be Doing From day one, you’ll get hands-on experience in the fascinating world of sound. Think: • Heading out on site to carry out real-world noise surveys, • Testing sound insulation in brand-new buildings, • Building 3D noise models (yes, it’s as cool as it sounds), • Turning your findings into professional reports, • Visiting projects across rural, urban and industrial locations throughout the UK One week you could be measuring environmental noise in the countryside. The next? Working on a major city-centre development. Big Projects. Real Impact. As you grow, you won’t just assist — you’ll lead. You’ll manage projects from start to finish and collaborate with some of the UK’s top architects, engineers, developers and construction teams. We work on high-profile, landmark developments — including some of the most iconic residential buildings in Europe. You won’t just observe great projects. You’ll help shape how they sound. What We’re Looking For • A degree in Acoustics or a closely related subject (Maths, Physics, Engineering, Music Technology, etc.), • Strong A-Levels in maths and science, • A friendly, confident personality — someone who can talk just as comfortably with clients as with colleagues, • A driving licence and access to a car (or close to getting one) If you’re curious, practical, and enjoy both problem-solving and people-facing work, you’ll fit right in. Support & Development You won’t be thrown in at the deep end. You’ll receive: • One-to-one mentoring, • Structured training within an experienced consultancy team, • Clear progression towards managing your own projects Hybrid Working After successfully completing your probationary period, you’ll have the flexibility of hybrid working, with a typical pattern of two days per week in the office and the remainder working from home or on site, depending on project needs. The Perks (and the Fun Stuff) • Competitive salary, • Group bonus scheme, • Private health insurance, • Discounted gym membership, • Cycle to Work scheme, • Salary sacrifice pension, • Casual Fridays, • Regular social events — including team running club and our much-loved curry club We work hard, support each other, and make sure there’s plenty of opportunity to unwind together too. If you’re ready for a career that blends science, technology, travel, teamwork and real-world impact — and you like the idea of literally shaping the soundscape of modern buildings — this could be the perfect start
