We're looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our close-knit team, supporting and delivering two key areas of work:
- Occupational Noise and Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) Assessments - You will be part of a survey team evaluating aircrew exposure during flight and groundcrew exposure during aircraft maintenance. This vital work focuses on identifying and mitigating risks related to Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), tinnitus, and other hearing impairments.
- Military Aviation Noise Contour (MANC) Production - Using specialist software, you will map environmental noise contours and assess the acoustic impact of aviation activities on local communities. These projects ensure compliance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and support Environmental Impact Assessments and planning decisions.
Beyond these core responsibilities, you will provide expert advice on a range of acoustics topics (including building acoustics) and support education by teaching and presenting on MOD courses. The Graduate Acoustician also plays a key role in equipment management, calibration and support.
The position may occasionally require short periods away from home (up to three weeks, with return visits at weekends). While most travel will be within the UK, there may also be opportunities for overseas visits.

The successful candidate will:
- Hold a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) related degree
- Demonstrate a keen interest in acoustics
- Possess strong scientific knowledge
- Exhibit excellent numerical and analytical skills
- Communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing
- Demonstrate an ability to prioritise tasks
