Senior Noise Analyst

The Senior Noise Analyst will provide advanced technical expertise in transportation noise analysis, supporting highway, rail, airport, and environmental impact assessment projects. You will join an established nationwide noise practice and contribute to complex studies that help infrastructure projects meet regulatory requirements and minimize community noise impacts. Using advanced FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM) 2.5 capabilities, you will conduct noise modeling, field monitoring, impact assessments, and noise abatement evaluations. You will also prepare technical documentation for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) studies and interpret federal, state, and transportation agency regulations. Working with multidisciplinary project teams, clients, and public stakeholders, you will translate complex technical findings into practical recommendations. This remote or hybrid opportunity offers the chance to lead technical work, support major infrastructure initiatives, and contribute to more sustainable transportation planning across the United States.
