Graduate Acoustic Consultant
Gloucester| Entry Level | -27,000 - -29,000

Turn a degree in physics, maths or audio into a career that shapes how the built world sounds.

My client is a young, growing acoustic consultancy specialising in architectural and environmental noise. They are looking for a Graduate Acoustic Consultant to join their Gloucester team. No previous acoustics experience is required, only a strong scientific mind and the drive to learn.

Why this Graduate Acoustic Consultant role stands out

• Real responsibility early. In a small, growing team, your work goes into real reports for real projects from the start, rather than being buried in a large graduate scheme.
• Applied science. Wave physics, maths, signal analysis and audio theory become practical tools for solving noise problems on live developments.
• Variety. Residential, commercial and mixed-use projects, from planning noise assessments through to building acoustics.
• A place to build a career. Acoustics is a specialist, in-demand field, and a growing consultancy offers room to progress as the business expands.
• A great place to live. Shrewsbury combines a historic market town with the Shropshire Hills on your doorstep, lower living costs than the big cities and strong rail links across the Midlands, North West and Wales.

• Carry out noise surveys and monitoring on site
• Assist with acoustic modelling and calculations
• Help produce clear technical reports for planning and building projects
• Support senior colleagues on a wide range of projects
• Learn the standards, software and methods behind professional acoustic consultancy

Based elsewhere? Applications are welcome from graduates across the Midlands, Wales and the South West, including Bristol, Bath, Swindon and Oxford, who are open to relocating to Gloucester.
