In November 2011 Daniel joined Wood & Grieve Engineers as an Acoustic Project Engineer after gaining over 13 years vital design experience in Australia, New Zealand, China and Spain. Daniel’s career began in Barcelona for a small consultancy with a strong emphasis in R+D in Acoustics; which led Daniel to be exposed to a wide range of projects, from underground train station design through to wind farms – including European Research projects.
After five years working as a consultant Daniel moved to New Zealand to work as Acoustic Test Engineer for Phitek. There, he contributed with his knowledge of quality control applications in production line to improve the speaker and microphone matching manufacturing process. A significant part of the time Daniel worked in the production line in Shenzhen, China.
In 2008 Daniel landed in Sydney to join an Australian firm where he was introduced to the Australian market, building regulations, standards, etc. Since then, his experience ranges from infrastructure, to active noise cancelling with a main focus in environmental noise assessment and building acoustics. His understanding of client related issues, tied up with his international experience, warrants that Daniel brings top knowledge and world class innovation to all projects he is involved with.
Daniel is known for his enthusiasm and passion about acoustics. His significant knowledge of the acoustics theory will ensure that he can achieve an optimum balance between technical accuracy, based on past and current projects, and cost effective solutions.
In his spare time, Daniel focuses on creating sounds and noises rather than attenuating them. He does so as bass player, as a solo artist when composing experimental music pieces or creating acoustic software for collectives such as Archikidz. Also, Daniel is Vice-president of the Catalan Centre of Victoria which is a cultural organisation that aims to promote diffusion of the Catalan language and culture.

Just to let you know that we had a de-briefing meeting with the client and the Police Operations Centre performed as it was designed for without any problem. Especially acoustic was mentioned as perfect. I had those same comments from many other users of those meeting rooms.
