Job Description

Senior Communications and Engagement Advisor

At Aurecon, we are optimistic about the future. We are thinkers, solvers, and collaborators who work with our clients to deliver the infrastructure and assets that strengthen communities and create a sustainable future.

What you’ll do
As a Senior Consultant in our Engagement and Change Advisory team, you’ll be a trusted partner to a diverse range of government and private infrastructure organisations, delving deep into their challenges to co-create solutions that help shape the future. You’ll communicate the value of a wide range of critical infrastructure projects, connect with diverse stakeholder groups and support the change that underpins the success of Australia’s infrastructure projects and organisations – including energy, resources and transport.

Here are the key things you’ll do:

• Work in a dedicated Perth-based team across a variety of projects and sectors. Collectively our team has worked across transport, government, mining and energy, and defence, with a focus on complex and strategic infrastructure projects.

• Partner with our clients to provide advisory and consulting services for projects where social outcomes and community impact are front of mind.

• Exercise outstanding interpersonal skills to develop relationships with a wide range of clients and critical internal and external stakeholders.

• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to prepare communication, engagement and organisational change materials, ensuring outputs are aligned with client needs and quality expectations.

• Prepare events and workshops for internal and external stakeholders, including being part of and assisting with the facilitation of community facing events and stakeholder workshops.

• Support a pipeline of future opportunities by contributing to the development of client proposals and identifying opportunities to deliver additional value for clients.

What you’ll bring

This opportunity suits mid-career individuals from a range of professional profiles. To be successful in this position you will ideally have:

• A passion for listening to the wants and needs of others to make better overall decisions.

• Exceptional communication skills, including attention to detail in your writing.

• An ability to translate technical or project-related information into plain language that resonates with stakeholders.

• A high level of proficiency in MS office tools, experience using customer relationship management systems and experience in social and digital media management. We would also love you to have experience across the Adobe Creative Cloud suite.

• Initiative, sound judgement and a can-do attitude, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver on commitments.

• A desire to work in a dynamic team that is focused on delivering the highest quality outcomes for clients.

• A relevant tertiary qualification or experience.
