Acoustic Consultant

About the role

As an Acoustician at AFRY you will work with a broad range of projects within building acoustics and environmental noise. You will be involved from early-stage studies and concept development through detailed design and construction.

Your work may include:

• Building acoustics and acoustic design of residential office educational healthcare and public buildings
• Environmental noise assessments related to road and rail traffic industry and urban development
• Acoustic calculations modelling and simulations
• Noise mapping and prediction
• Evaluation of acoustic measurements
• Development of acoustic solutions strategies and mitigation measures
• Preparation of technical specifications
• Providing expert advice to project teams

You will have the opportunity to work across the full project lifecycle and develop your expertise in the areas where you can create the greatest value.

Qualifications :

You will be part of a collaborative team where knowledge and experience are actively shared across offices. We are looking for an open-minded and collaborative acoustic engineer who enjoys working with colleagues from different backgrounds disciplines and levels of experience. You combine strong technical competence with curiosity a willingness to share knowledge and an interest in developing both yourself and those around you.

We believe you have:

• A university degree in acoustics engineering physics building physics or a related field
• 5 years of professional experience as an acoustician or acoustic consultant
• Solid experience in building acoustics and/or environmental noise
• Experience of acoustic calculations modelling and technical analysis
• Experience working in multidisciplinary construction or infrastructure projects
• The ability to communicate complex acoustic issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• A structured and independent way of working

Strong written and spoken English

Experience in building acoustics within healthcare projects is particularly valuable.

Experience with software such as SoundPLAN CadnaA CadnaB SONArchitect INSUL Bastian Odeon Treble Rhino/Grasshopper Sketchup AutoCAD Revit BIM is an advantage. Experience with equivalent tools is also highly relevant.

Knowledge of Swedish acoustic standards and regulations is an advantage but not a prerequisite.

Knowledge and experience within the following areas are particularly valuable:

• Façade and window sound insulation calculations with respect to road and rail traffic noise
• Airborne sound insulation calculations between rooms
• Impact sound insulation calculations between rooms
• Preparation of drawings and documentation specifying acoustic requirements for walls glazed partitions and doors
• Sound transmission calculations between rooms including break-in and break-out noise through ventilation ducts
• Noise assessment of air handling units and ventilation fan systems
• Room acoustic simulations and calculations including reverberation time and Speech Transmission Index (STI).

Additional Information :

At AFRY we believe that the best acoustic solutions are created when technical expertise meets creativity collaboration and an understanding of the bigger picture.

You will join a team in Stockholm with deep expertise in acoustics sound and vibration and a strong connection to the wider engineering organisation at AFRY. Our work spans buildings urban development infrastructure transport industry and energy allowing acoustics to be integrated with other engineering disciplines from the early stages of a project.

You can expect:

• Challenging and varied projects
• A strong technical community and experienced colleagues
• Opportunities to work across disciplines and countries
• A flexible and collaborative working environment

If you are passionate about acoustics and want to use your expertise to create better buildings healthier urban environments and more sustainable communities we would like to hear from you.
