SPECTRUM ACOUSTIC CONSULTANTS LTD is one of the UK’s leading independent firms of acoustic consultants, with a track record of prestigious and challenging projects covering the arts, commercial, leisure, residential and industrial sectors – both in the UK and worldwide.
We are seeking people with consultancy experience to join our dynamic team in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. We are interested in talking to you if you are in the early stages of a career, making progress at senior level, or if you are more experienced and have been working for many years.
Your role will depend on your experience. For less experienced consultants we will train you so that you can run several concurrent small - medium sized projects on your own, and be part of a small team on larger projects. More experienced staff will be supported, though where appropriate will be working self-sufficiently, providing training for others, and learning from the wider team. We encourage all staff to develop and nurture client relationships, to run their own projects, from initial enquiry and quoting through to project execution, reporting and invoicing; as well as making career progress by learning and training. In 2023, Spectrum became an Employee-Owned Trust. This means all staff are owners of the business, and we share the goals of providing great customer service, high standards of work and good employee satisfaction, with the company’s financial success shared by all staff.
