Aviation Environmental Services Consultant – Sound Insulation
Multiple positions
HMMH has multiple positions for client-focused professionals, from entry-level to experienced candidates, to provide support to our growing transportation planning and environmental practice in the area of sound insulation.
HMMH addresses environmental issues at airports; since our founding in 1981, HMMH has delivered expert assistance to more than 200 airports worldwide. The focus of our Aviation Environmental Services Group is to analyze, evaluate, and find solutions for airport environmental issues. We prepare noise and air quality studies, develop sustainability plans, evaluate and develop mitigation plans for environmental impacts, contribute to environmental documentation, engage the public, and ensure regulatory compliance. Many of our consultants have backgrounds in aerospace/aviation, flight procedures, physics, math, engineering, environmental sciences, or other technical fields.
We seek candidates with solid technical, quantitative, and technical writing backgrounds for positions focused on acoustical testing, data analysis, and reporting for sound insulation projects in the Aviation group. As a consultant at HMMH, you will have an opportunity to:
- Use your quantitative skills to analyze data
