Senior / Principal Acoustic Consultant – Director Progression

Location: Greater Manchester

Career progression: Genuine route to Directorship

Long-term opportunity: Potential shareholding, part-ownership and dividends

What if your next acoustics role could ultimately lead to you owning part of the company?

Zest4Talent is recruiting an experienced Senior / Principal Acoustic Consultant for an established, independent acoustics consultancy in Greater Manchester.

This is not simply another Senior or Principal Consultant role.

Our client is looking for someone who can take ownership of projects and client relationships while becoming increasingly involved in developing the business.

For the right individual, there is a genuine opportunity to progress to Director and potentially become a shareholder and part-owner of the consultancy, with the prospect of participating in future dividends.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than technical progression and is interested in helping shape the future of a growing independent business.

The Opportunity

Working across Building and Environmental Acoustics, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Manage acoustics consultancy projects from initial brief through to completion.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with existing clients.
  • Build new relationships with architects, developers, contractors and other industry professionals.
  • Identify commercial opportunities and contribute to winning new work.
  • Provide technical guidance and support to junior team members.
  • Help develop new services and opportunities for the consultancy.
  • Take increasing responsibility for the commercial and operational development of the business.
  • Play an important role in shaping the future direction and growth of the consultancy.

Ideally, you will already be operating at Senior or Principal Acoustic Consultant level, with a strong technical background in Building and Environmental Acoustics.

Alongside your technical expertise, we are particularly interested in speaking with individuals who:

  • Have experience managing acoustics projects and delivering technical consultancy services.
  • Are confident developing and maintaining client relationships.
  • Have a commercially minded approach and an interest in business development.
  • Enjoy taking responsibility and working with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Have experience supporting or mentoring less experienced colleagues.
  • Are ambitious to progress beyond technical consultancy into business leadership.
  • Would be motivated by the longer-term prospect of becoming a Director and potentially owning part of the business.

Our client may also consider someone earlier in their career who demonstrates the right technical capability, commercial aptitude and leadership potential.

You will need to be comfortable working regularly from the consultancy’s Greater Manchester office.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

  • Genuine route to Director as the business develops.
  • Potential future shareholding and part-ownership for the right individual.
  • Prospect of future dividend participation, subject to an agreed ownership arrangement.
  • Varied projects across Building and Environmental Acoustics.
  • Opportunity to develop client relationships and generate new business.
  • Greater influence over commercial decisions and the direction of the consultancy.
  • The chance to help build something you could ultimately have an ownership stake in.

Unlike many senior consultancy positions, this opportunity offers the prospect of becoming increasingly involved in the leadership and ownership of the business.

The potential Director appointment, shareholding and dividend participation are longer-term opportunities for the right individual, rather than guaranteed benefits on joining.
