- Preparing clear technical reports, design advice and drawing mark-ups for clients and project teams.

- Contributing ideas: we are a small close-knit collaborative team where creativity and innovative ideas are encouraged.
Where You Will Develop

- Environmental acoustics. Practical noise monitoring and assessment for construction projects, festivals and outdoor events, and skills in planning, licensing and soundscape design.
- Bioacoustics. Eco- and bioacoustics as part of our approach to regenerative acoustics, including designing soundscapes which connect people and nature and using acoustics to monitor biodiversity.
