This is an opportunity to join a growing organisation and play an important role on a major project.
You'll be joining at an important stage of delivery, working closely with the construction team while becoming a key point of contact between the project and the surrounding community.
This is a genuinely stakeholder-facing position. You'll be out building relationships with landholders, councils, community groups and other regional stakeholders, helping ensure issues are identified early and managed properly throughout construction.
For an experienced engagement professional, it also provides the chance to get involved in wider community initiatives, including engagement planning and benefit-sharing programs.
The role offers a hybrid working arrangement and is a 20-month fixed-term contract with the potential for extension.
Building and maintaining relationships with local landholders, councils, community groups, Traditional Owners, neighbours and other regional stakeholders
Supporting the delivery of community engagement and benefit-sharing initiatives
Managing community enquiries, concerns, feedback and complaints
Handling potentially difficult conversations professionally and working towards practical resolutions
Coordinating community meetings, information sessions and stakeholder engagement activities
Monitoring community sentiment and identifying potential issues before they escape
Working closely with the construction team to ensure stakeholder and community issues are appropriately managed




Maintaining accurate stakeholder records and supporting engagement reporting, presentations and communications
We're looking for someone with genuine community and stakeholder engagement experience, ideally gained within construction, infrastructure, utilities or another major project environment.
Importantly, renewable energy experience is not required.
You'll need to have:
Direct experience engaging with landowners / landholders and maintaining relationships throughout a project
Experience working with local councils and government stakeholders
Experience managing community enquiries, complaints and potentially sensitive stakeholder issues
Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills
Confidence handling conflict and difficult conversations
The resilience to operate effectively within a live construction environment
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
The ability to work closely with construction and project delivery teams while representing the project professionally within the community
Experience delivering stakeholder engagement strategies, community consultation, benefit-sharing programs or Traditional Owner engagement would be particularly valuable.
We're open on sector background. If you've gained your experience around infrastructure, construction, utilities, resources, transport or other major regional projects, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
