SPECTRUM ACOUSTIC CONSULTANTS LTD is one of the UK's leading independent firms of acoustic consultants, with a track record of prestigious and challenging projects covering the arts, commercial, leisure, residential and industrial sectors - both in the UK and worldwide. We are looking for people with consultancy experience to join our dynamic team in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.
