Acoustics Consultant in Whitehall

We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic Acoustic Consultant to join our growing team in London. You will be working on projects across Buildings, Environment and Transportation sectors in the UK and further afield. In London, our team is currently supporting the decarbonisation and refurbishment of listed buildings on Regent Street, supporting the long-term conservation of St Paul’s Cathedral and the vibration isolation of multiple buildings from London Underground.

If the following job requirements and experience match your skills, please ensure you apply promptly. Across the UK and further afield, we are supporting a variety of development sectors from power and infrastructure, to manufacturing and data storage, as well as residential, educational, healthcare and heritage.

To succeed in this role, you must have some relevant experience in acoustic consultancy either as part of an industrial placement year or post-graduate. You must also be diligent, enthusiastic to learn, and a team player able to support our extensive and interesting portfolio of work. Flexibility will also be required to attend site work.

Your key tasks and responsibilities will be:

• Consultancy liaison and team-working with our UK and international acoustics team, and with Ramboll’s Environment and Health and Buildings teams.
• Effective consultation and communication of acoustic design to non-specialists and local planning authorities.
• Undertaking baseline noise and vibration surveys.
• Support our site inspections and building acoustic testing (sound insulation, reverberation, STIPA) on Building projects.
• Undertaking technical assessment and acoustic modelling (CADNA/A, Ease, Odeon).
• Contributing to technical reports ranging from Acoustic Engineering Reports to Environmental Statements and supporting technical appendices.
• Effectively managing own workload with support from our team and your mentor.

Your starting point for personal growth will be supported by a motivated and capable UK team of acousticians. From the moment you join Ramboll, we will support your personal and professional development so that you grow with our company. Working alongside experienced acousticians, you will receive direct guidance to build your technical knowledge and learn how to practically apply UK Standards and Guidelines (for example BS 4142, BS 8233, and BS 5228).

For this role, we believe your starting point is:

• Acoustic related Degree, IOA Diploma or Masters’ Degree.
• Full driving licence.
• Some relevant experience in acoustic consultancy would be highly beneficial.
• Preferably an Associate Member of Institute of Acoustics (and working towards MIOA).
• Experience in the use of CADNA/A software, and ArcGIS (or similar), would be beneficial.
• Experience in the use of commonly applied Standards and Guidelines would be beneficial.

To help you succeed in this role, you should be able to demonstrate good communication and organisational skills. You should also be able to develop and maintain successful internal and external client relationships, provide deliverables on time, and help us always deliver our best quality work.

In return we offer the opportunity to be part of a diverse and dynamic organisation in the rapidly growing Engineering and Consultancy sector in the UK. We offer a competitive salary, alongside 27 days holiday per year, private medical insurance, flexible and hybrid working, a contributory pension scheme, plus flexible benefits.

We will sponsor your membership of the Institute of Acoustics and actively encourage you to take part in IoA and Association of Noise Consultants working groups.

An equal opportunity employer, we believe that diversity is a strength and that different experiences and perspectives are essential to creating truly sustainable societies. We are committed to providing an inclusive and supportive work environment, where everyone is able to flourish and reach their potential.
