• Support ambient air quality monitoring programmes, where required, including data review and interpretation.
• Environmental Noise Assessment and Modelling
• Assist with environmental noise assessments for industrial facilities, infrastructure and development projects.
• Compile source sound power levels, equipment information, operating schedules and receptor data.
• Develop and maintain environmental noise models under the guidance of senior consultants.
• Support the prediction of noise levels at site boundaries and nearby noise-sensitive receptors.
• Assist with the assessment of cumulative noise impacts and potential noise mitigation measures.
• Support environmental noise monitoring activities, including preparation, field measurements, data processing and interpretation.
• Compare measured and predicted noise levels against applicable regulatory limits and project criteria.
• Prepare noise contour plots, assessment tables and supporting technical documentation.
• Project Delivery and General Responsibilities
• Assist in preparing proposals, technical reports, presentations and client deliverables.
• Undertake literature reviews, regulatory research and technical data verification.
• Maintain clear and traceable modelling files, calculations, assumptions and project records.
• Participate in site visits, inspections, surveys and data collection activities.
• Work collaboratively with internal teams across engineering, environment, sustainability and health and safety disciplines.
• Communicate technical findings clearly through written reports, presentations and discussions.
• Support project managers in meeting agreed project scope, programme, budget and quality requirements.
• Follow company health, safety, quality and project management procedures.
• Undertake other relevant technical and project tasks as assigned.

Requirements
