Acoustic Consultant

Winchester

£32,000 - £40,000 per annum

Ready for a role where you can take ownership of your work, broaden your expertise and make a real impact?

My client, an expanding, multidisciplinary environmental consultancy is looking for an experienced Acoustic Consultant to join its close-knit team in Hampshire. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with at least six months of acoustic consultancy experience who can confidently manage noise assessments and produce technical reports independently.

Unlike larger consultancies where your role may be confined to one specialism, this opportunity offers exposure to a wider range of environmental planning disciplines, with the chance to develop new skills and contribute directly to the company's continued growth.

What is on offer?

• Competitive salary (£32,000 - £40,000), dependent on experience
• Hybrid working arrangements considered
• A varied workload across environmental planning and acoustics
• Opportunities to broaden your technical expertise into other disciplines
• A close-knit team where your ideas and contributions can make a genuine difference
• The opportunity to help shape an expanding consultancy and its future
• Potential for continued career development as the business grows

What will you be doing?

As an Acoustic Consultant, you will take responsibility for delivering acoustic consultancy work, including:

• Preparing noise reports for planning applications
• Undertaking environmental noise assessments and measurements
• Carrying out planning-related noise impact assessments
• Applying relevant standards, including BS 4142 and BS 8233
• Interpreting survey data and developing practical mitigation recommendations
• Liaising with clients, developers, planners and other project stakeholders
• Managing your workload and delivering accurate reports to agreed deadlines

What are we looking for?

• At least one year of experience in acoustic consultancy, less experience would still be considered
• The ability to prepare noise reports and assessments independently, without close supervision
• Experience with BS 4142 and BS 8233 assessments
• Exposure to commercial projects or a commercial consultancy environment
• Strong technical report-writing and communication skills
• A proactive, organised approach and the ability to work collaboratively within a small team
• A full UK driving licence

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing, multidisciplinary business where you can broaden your experience, influence how the company develops and build a role around your strengths and interests.
