As our new Vibration Engineer, you will be part of our specialist vibration engineering team within the Buildings Team. The team undertakes widely varied work, ranging from the design of ultra-sensitive scientific facilities to groundborne noise and vibration in buildings affected by railways. The team adopts specialist analytical and numerical modelling techniques together with a sound practical approach through field measurements.

We have developed, and continue to develop, bespoke in‑house software applications for optimising vibration designs. We have a significant pipeline of secured projects in an ever‑diversifying field of vibration facilities and projects and are looking for an enthusiastic new member of the team to assist with their delivery in both UK and international territories.

• Work as part of a team as well as managing your own time on projects
• Assist in designing, carrying out, interpreting and reporting on vibration surveys
• Undertake tasks in the design of facilities to achieve low levels of vibration, including analytical and numerical modelling of ground vibration
• Carry out numerical modelling of buildings to predict the levels of vibration and work closely with 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 technical requirements in completed buildings
• Undertake vibration measurements and be comfortable with data processing of 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 Masters or PhD in this or a closely related subject area will be an advantage.
• Experience in the field or a closely related discipline. Candidates with PhD but no industrial experience will also be considered.
• Working towards a professional qualification (e.g. CEng, MICE, MIOA, MIMechE, etc.)
• Highly numerate with an understanding of signal analysis, ground‑borne vibration, mechanical and electrical plant vibration.
• Experience in numerical programming, ideally in Python, although other languages may be acceptable.

Highly numerate and having a strong passion in this field, excellent communication skills, and good management of own workload within area of responsibility.

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