Are you a graduate with a technical or engineering-related degree and a background in Maths or Physics?

Would you like to begin a professional career working on some of the UK’s most prestigious construction and development projects?

Zest4Talent is recruiting a Graduate Building Acoustics Consultant for a successful and well-established specialist consultancy based in Bedford.

This is an excellent opportunity for an analytical, practically minded graduate who is interested in engineering, buildings and the science of sound. Previous experience in acoustics is not required, as comprehensive training and one-to-one mentoring will be provided.

The role

Building acoustics focuses on how sound travels within and between buildings. Acoustic consultants work alongside architects, developers, engineers and construction teams to create buildings that are comfortable, compliant and fit for purpose.

You will receive structured training while gaining practical experience across live projects. Your responsibilities will gradually include:

• Attending sites and completing noise-measurement surveys

• Carrying out sound-insulation testing

• Using specialist software to produce acoustic models

• Analysing technical information and survey results

• Preparing clear and professional technical reports

• Supporting the acoustic design of new buildings and developments

• Communicating with architects, developers, engineers and construction teams

• Attending client and project meetings

• Supporting projects through planning, design, construction and completion

As your technical knowledge and confidence develop, you will be given increasing responsibility and the opportunity to manage your own projects from start to finish.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• A friendly, enthusiastic and approachable personality

• A full UK driving licence

Location

The role is based at modern, out-of-town offices in Bedford, with free on-site parking.
