Acoustical consultants are responsible for compliance with acoustic quality criteria pre-established in the construction, transport, industrial, land planning sectors, etc. They work closely with the multidisciplinary team that participates in the project and can be comprised of architects, urban planners, engineers, etc.

• Coordinate the different professionals, trades and companies that participate in realisation projects for infrastructures, public spaces, industrial installations, etc. (civil and industrial engineering, architecture, urban planning, landscape gardening, etc.), in order to to contribute specific criteria and solutions in the area of acoustics.
• Analyse and verify construction materials and solutions with the aim of attaining pre-established acoustic quality objectives for which you will be responsible.
• Organise and plan projects and works in cases of acoustic adaptation of public spaces, private and existing infrastructures.
• Perform consultancy tasks with regard to the environmental impact of noise pollution, according to regulations in force on emission and immission values and detected problems.

Environment

People who work in this field focus their professional interests on the preservation, improvement or restoration of the environment (vegetation, fauna, flora) in both built-up areas and natural spaces. Some of the activities that represent this field are the detection, analysis and control of pollutants, the carrying out of measurements and tests in relation to climatic or environmental variables and the reduction of the harmful effects of human activity on the environment. The carrying out of these activities requires knowledge of the environment, for its planning and use, and of environmental regulations.

Technician

People who show an interest in the technical field find fulfilment in carrying out activities related to the design and manufacture of objects, machines, vehicles and/or infrastructures. These activities require the application of scientific and technical knowledge (laws of physics, calculations and mathematical formulas, properties of the materials, etc). Creativity is also necessary when coming up with optimal solutions for the functional requirements of the products to be designed. Therefore, the pragmatic application of scientific knowledge in order to develop solutions for the benefit of human beings is the main function of occupations in the technical field.
