Vibration Engineer

Job Description

We invite you to bring your expertise in structural dynamics and vibration design to high‑profile projects, pushing the boundaries of vibration engineering. To succeed you must understand vibration engineering and have experience in numerical programming (e.g., Python or similar). Are you our new Vibration Engineer? Apply now.

As a new Vibration Engineer you will be part of a specialist team within the Buildings division. The team undertakes work ranging from the design of ultra‑sensitive scientific facilities to ground‑borne noise and vibration in railway‑adjacent buildings. We use specialist analytical and numerical modelling techniques together with field measurements, and develop bespoke in‑house software for optimisation of vibration designs.

• Work as part of a team while managing your own time on projects.
• Assist in designing, carrying out, interpreting and reporting on vibration surveys.
• Undertake design tasks to achieve low vibration levels, including analytical and numerical modelling of ground vibration.
• Carry out numerical modelling of buildings to predict vibration levels and work closely with other modellers.
• Assist in the development of existing and new software applications for vibration design.
• Carry out site visits and collaborate with project teams to deliver the technical requirements in completed buildings.
• Undertake vibration measurements and be comfortable processing field‑test data.
• Carry out research and development aligned with project work.

• A degree in civil/structural engineering, mechanical engineering, or acoustics with specific experience in dynamics and vibration analysis.
• A Master’s or Ph.D. in a closely related subject area will be an advantage.
• Experience in the field or a closely related discipline;
  Ph.D. candidates with no industrial experience will also be considered.
• Working toward a professional qualification (e.g., CEng, MICE, MIOA, MIMechE).
• Highly numerate with an understanding of signal analysis, ground‑borne vibration, and mechanical/electrical plant vibration.
• Experience in numerical programming, ideally Python, though other languages may be acceptable.

Strong numeracy, passion for vibration engineering, excellent communication skills, and effective workload management within your area of responsibility.

Flexible – final location will be agreed based on grade/seniority, team location, client and project needs, and preferred hybrid working pattern. Some roles may require regular presence in a specific hub and occasional travel to client or site locations.
