About the Role
We’re looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our close-knit team, supporting and delivering two key areas of work:
Occupational Noise and Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) Assessments – You will be part of a survey team evaluating aircrew exposure during flight and groundcrew exposure during aircraft maintenance. This vital work focuses on identifying and mitigating risks related to Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), tinnitus, and other hearing impairments.

These projects ensure compliance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and support Environmental Impact Assessments and planning decisions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Beyond these core responsibilities, you will provide expert advice on a range of acoustics topics (including building acoustics) and support education by teaching and presenting on MOD courses. The Graduate Acoustician also plays a key role in equipment management, calibration and support.
The position may occasionally require short periods away from home (up to three weeks, with return visits at weekends). While most travel will be within the UK, there may also be opportunities for overseas visits.
Person Specification
The successful candidate will:
- Hold a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) related degree
- Demonstrate a keen interest in acoustics
- Possess strong scientific knowledge
- Exhibit excellent numerical and analytical skills
- Communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing
- Demonstrate an ability to prioritise tasks
- Hold a full UK category B driver's licence as travel is required
