Details: Are you a strategic communicator with a passion for infrastructure and community engagement?

Infrastructure Canberra is seeking a dynamic and experienced communications professional to lead stakeholder engagement and strategic communications across some of the Territory’s most significant infrastructure projects.

You will play a key leadership role in shaping how we communicate with the community, government partners, and industry stakeholders. You’ll work closely with project teams, contractors, and the broader ACT Public Service to deliver best-practice, audience-led communications and engagement strategies.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Can lead and inspire a small team to deliver high-quality, impactful work.
• Thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Brings a strong understanding of contemporary engagement practices, including IAP2 principles.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

• Relevant tertiary qualifications or a minimum of five to eight years’ experience working professionally in the fields of communications, community engagement, public participation, or marketing.
