- Grow your career, joining and learning from a passionate and dynamic team of Communications and Engagement specialists based throughout New Zealand
- Make a genuine impact in your community delivering effective communication and meaningful engagement on projects
- Work across client and project types, including transportation, road safety, three waters, infrastructure and local government sectors

**Te kāinga rua | The opportunity**

Make a difference joining a close-knit team of Communication and Engagements specialists based throughout New Zealand, where you will be providing advice on how to enable our clients projects of significance in your community. As a specialist, you will be part of a broader team of designers, planners, environmental and sustainability specialists, digital and engineering consultants working collaboratively to make everyday better. There is scope for this role to be based in a Beca office in either Auckland, Hamilton or Tauranga.

You will work with a range of partners and stakeholders including mana whenua, community groups and technical specialists and facilitate conversations with local community members. You will be supported by a national team of specialists, including several recognised leaders in the Communications and Engagement space. Key projects range from Te Tupu Ngātahi (the Supporting Growth Alliance) a once-in-a-lifetime project mapping out Auckland’s future transport network), helping with finding a location for a new airport in Northland, redeveloping our Defence bases, making communities safer through improvements to road design and developing business cases to guide client investment.

The role is fast paced, where no two days are the same. You will enjoy the dynamic nature and broad project and client requirements, experienced in a consulting role. You will be a technically strong writer with a nose for a good story, as well as be experienced at developing communication and engagement plans working with a range of engagement strategies and tools, including online, in person, open day and via events.

**Ko wai koe | About you**

You will enjoy connecting across diverse stakeholder groups with the ability to demonstrate your knowledge of communications methods and stakeholder engagement. You will be a confident communicator, with the ability to point out risk, have an eye for detail and experience taking often complex and jargon-fuelled information and make it an easy compelling read. You will be experienced working in a team, and you understand the value that Communications and Engagement can add to project and client outcomes.

You will have a tertiary qualification and preferably you will have a proven background and experience in consulting, government or industry specialising in stakeholder and community engagement and/or communications planning and delivery. A working knowledge of the Resource Management Act and IAP2 best practice and principles for engagement would be an advantage.
