An exciting opportunity has emerged for a Principal/ Associate Acoustics Consultant to join our expanding Northern UK Acoustics team, working out of either our Glasgow or Edinburgh offices.

This is an exciting opportunity to build your own team and develop a service.
The Acoustics & Air Quality Division is a human centric team of people from a variety of backgrounds within acoustics, working to deliver a standout approach to the complexities of acoustics engineering. The team aspire to provide premium acoustics engineering across all projects, whilst maintaining approachable, adaptable and accountable relationships with our clients and colleagues.

* Event Centres, performance spaces and music venues.

* Universities in Manchester, Newcastle, Keele, and Blackpool.

* Professionals who can confidently build and maintain relationships with colleagues, key stakeholders and clients.
* Someone who enjoys mentoring junior members of the team and has a passion for acoustics.
* An existing base of local client contacts would be advantageous but is not essential.
What We Offer:
* Inspiring and supportive colleagues.
