In this role you will:

• Work with a dynamic team within an established global infrastructure consulting and engineering company.
• Collaborate with Acoustic & Noise Control specialists to support project owners in identifying and mitigating risk associated with environmental noise and industrial noise control.
• Join BC’s Environmental practice focused on ensuring environmental stewardship for our clients.

Our Environmental team is a multidisciplinary group of ecologists, engineers, scientists, project managers, and attorneys working together to deliver optimum environmental solutions. We support infrastructure projects—including power generation, transmission, oil and gas facilities, water and wastewater treatment, data centers, and food and beverage industries—with services such as impact assessment, regulatory compliance, wetland analysis, air quality permitting, environmental noise assessment, pollution prevention planning, and climate action solutions.

• The Associate Acoustics & Noise Control Specialist supports acoustical design and noise control engineering for BC projects, with emphasis on environmental and community noise assessment for power generation (conventional and renewable), data centers, petrochemical, electric transmission, water supply, wastewater treatment, and telecommunications projects.
• Supports project phases including feasibility, siting, permitting, independent engineering, engineering design, procurement, construction, and commissioning, evaluating environmental noise risks and compliance requirements.
• Coordinates directly with project managers, proposal managers, chief engineers, design engineers, clients, facility owners, and equipment manufacturers to develop practical, cost‑effective noise control and mitigation solutions.
• Environmental Noise Assessments – Supports siting, permitting, and licensing studies by reviewing local, state, and federal noise regulations and land‑use compatibility criteria; identifying sensitive receptors; conducting ambient noise surveys; developing and applying environmental noise models; evaluating construction and operational noise impacts; recommending mitigation; and preparing technical reports for agency and public review.
• Acoustical Design and Compliance – Performs acoustical design studies, develops equipment sound level specifications and mitigation requirements, prepares test protocols, and supports or performs noise emissions performance testing to demonstrate compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements; may support licensing proceedings, client presentations, and expert testimony.
