Opportunity Expired
SLR is an international environmental consultancy with a globally recognised reputation for providing high quality tailored services. With offices across the Asia Pacific, Europe, North America and Africa, SLR is one of a very small number of truly international specialist environmental consultancies.
SLR has a great opportunity based in Canberra for an individual to join our high performing and friendly Acoustics & Vibration team as a Graduate Acoustic Consultant. We are also open to someone with a couple of years’ experience that can hit the ground running.

• With the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, work in the following areas is expected; environmental noise monitoring, building acoustics, 3D computer noise modelling, numerical analysis of results and associated reporting in which you will have key leaders to learn from.
• As well as delivering projects your role would include experience out in the field doing site work with support from an experienced consultant to transition to be able to do this autonomously.
• Preparation of concise reports suitable for a wide audience
• You will learn and develop within the role and be committed to ongoing development and learning opportunities at SLR.
Skills and experience

Job benefits and perks
SLR values our staff and we look to provide a supportive and collaborative working culture. Accordingly, successful candidates will be offered a competitive salary, a flexible work environment and positive team culture. This would suit an autonomous person as we have a small presence in the ACT currently and looking to build on this. A more affordable area outside of major cities with excellent outdoor lifestyle options.
Cultural fit and shared vision are very important to SLR. We want to grow our team around the right people. If you are practical, client-focused and highly motivated – we'd love to hear from you.
