  • Develop and coordinate workforce engagement programs that promote collaboration, recognition, safety culture, diversity and inclusion, team-building, and employee involvement across the project organization.
  • Partner with project leadership and functional teams to support change management initiatives by developing communication campaigns, stakeholder impact assessments, and engagement activities that facilitate adoption of project-related changes.
  • Plan and execute project events, milestone celebrations, site visits, leadership meetings, public forums, groundbreaking ceremonies, commissioning events, and other stakeholder engagement activities.
  • Create, edit, and manage high-quality communications content across multiple channels, including articles, visual materials, presentations, videos, digital signage, intranet platforms, and social media content where appropriate.
  • Establish mechanisms to gather stakeholder feedback, measure communication effectiveness, track engagement performance metrics, identify improvement opportunities, and provide recommendations to project leadership.

Required Education, Experience, & Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, Marketing, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • Minimum 3-7 years of experience in project communications, corporate communications, public relations, stakeholder engagement, or a related role.
  • Experience supporting large capital projects, construction programs, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, manufacturing, or industrial environments is preferred.
  • Excellent written, verbal, editing, and presentation skills.
  • Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, SharePoint, Teams, and other communication and collaboration platforms.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively with diverse stakeholder groups.
  • Experience supporting executive communications and event coordination is desirable.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
