About this role
About the role
As an Acoustician at AFRY, you will work with a broad range of projects within building acoustics and environmental noise. You will be involved from early-stage studies and concept development through detailed design and construction.
Your work may include:
Building acoustics and acoustic design of residential, office, educational, healthcare and public buildingsEnvironmental noise assessments related to road and rail traffic, industry and urban developmentAcoustic calculations, modelling and simulationsNoise mapping and predictionEvaluation of acoustic measurementsDevelopment of acoustic solutions, strategies and mitigation measuresPreparation of technical specificationsProviding expert advice to project teamsYou will have the opportunity to work across the full project lifecycle and develop your expertise in the areas where you can create the greatest value.
You will be part of a collaborative team where knowledge and experience are actively shared across offices. We are looking for an open-minded and collaborative acoustic engineer who enjoys working with colleagues from different backgrounds, disciplines and levels of experience. You combine strong technical competence with curiosity, a willingness to share knowledge and an interest in developing both yourself and those around you.
We believe you have:
A university degree in acoustics, engineering, physics, building physics or a related field5+ years of professional experience as an acoustician or acoustic consultantSolid experience in building acoustics and/or environmental noiseExperience of acoustic calculations, modelling and technical analysisExperience working in multidisciplinary construction or infrastructure projectsThe ability to communicate complex acoustic issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholdersA structured and independent way of workingStrong written and spoken English
Experience in building acoustics within healthcare projects is particularly valuable.
Experience with software such as SoundPLAN, CadnaA, CadnaB, SONArchitect, INSUL, Bastian, Odeon, Treble, Rhino/Grasshopper, Sketchup, AutoCAD, Revit, BIM is an advantage. Experience with equivalent tools is also highly relevant.
Knowledge of Swedish acoustic standards and regulations is an advantage, but not a prerequisite.
Knowledge and experience within the following areas are particularly valuable:
Façade and window sound insulation calculations with respect to road and rail traffic noiseAirborne sound insulation calculations between roomsImpact sound insulation calculations between roomsPreparation of drawings and documentation specifying acoustic requirements for walls, glazed partitions and doorsSound transmission calculations between rooms, including break-in and break-out noise through ventilation ductsNoise assessment of air handling units and ventilation fan systemsRoom acoustic simulations and calculations, including reverberation time and Speech Transmission Index (STI). At AFRY, we believe that the best acoustic solutions are created when technical expertise meets creativity, collaboration and an understanding of the bigger picture.
You will join a team in Stockholm with deep expertise in acoustics, sound and vibration and a strong connection to the wider engineering organisation at AFRY. Our work spans buildings, urban development, infrastructure, transport, industry and energy, allowing acoustics to be integrated with other engineering disciplines from the early stages of a project.
You can expect:
Challenging and varied projectsA strong technical community and experienced colleaguesOpportunities to work across disciplines and countriesA flexible and collaborative working environmentIf you are passionate about acoustics and want to use your expertise to create better buildings, healthier urban environments and more sustainable communities, we would like to hear from you.
At AFRY, we engineer change in everything we do. Change happens when brave ideas come together. When we collaborate, innovate technology, and embrace challenging points of view. That’s how we're making future. We are actively looking for qualified candidates to join our inclusive and diverse teams across the globe. Join us in accelerating the transition towards a sustainable future.
