Description:
About the Role:
We are seeking a highly motivated Data Center Acoustician / Acoustic Modeling Specialist with proven experience in campus-level acoustic planning, design and modeling.
In this role, you will act as the key Subject Matter Expert (SME) for sound control across mission-critical infrastructure. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to guide site design, evaluate regulatory impacts and manage acoustic risks. A strong understanding of large-scale facilities, sound-generating equipment (such as generators and cooling systems), and rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) cost estimating is essential.
What You'll Do:
Please be advised that effective January 1, 2025, CBRE Project Management and Turner & Townsend will be consolidated into a single global business entity. As a candidate applying for a position, you should be aware that while your initial employment may be with CBRE Project Management, you will subsequently transfer to the newly formed entity that encompasses both organizations.

What You'll Do:
- Site Selection & Due Diligence: Participate in Due Diligence and Campus Planning sessions as the acoustic SME. Guide site selection, site design, and equipment layout to minimize environmental noise impacts.
- Acoustic Review & Risk Mitigation: Evaluate consultant-led noise models and reports to ensure strict compliance with local zoning laws and global standard requirements. Proactively identify high-risk sites and recommend mitigation strategies.
- Standards & Product Development: Design and refine standard sound attenuation products for the Owner portfolio. Help develop and maintain program documentation, including modeling standards (gPOR), vendor requirements, and public policy guidelines.
- Design & Layout Support: Guide Test Fit and Site Plan development. Deliver technical guidance on sound contours, sensitive receptor locations, mitigation costs/schedules, and the acoustic footprint of cooling systems.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Acoustics, Physics or related field.
- 7+ years of experience in acoustic modeling.
- Strong understanding of sound-attenuation and mitigation systems for large-scale cooling and diesel generator equipment.
- Knowledgeable in the compliance requirements of the pertinent codes, regulations, and standards.
- Familiarity with CadnaA or SoundPLAN.
- 10+ years of professional acoustic consulting or engineering experience.
- Experience with mission-critical facilities.
- Experience with large-scale, multi-source campus modeling.
- Expertise in CadnaA or SoundPLAN.
