About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Communications Officer to support a portfolio of large-scale transport and infrastructure projects in Sydney’s west. With a program budget of over $200 million, this role offers the opportunity to deliver high-impact communication and engagement activities that directly shape community outcomes. You will be a passionate communicator who thrives in a construction and transport project environment. You’re equally comfortable collaborating in a team or working independently to deliver high-quality outcomes.

Key Projects
  • Homebush Bay Roundabout – one of the country’s most challenging intersections, now set for a major upgrade through a joint State and Federal initiative. This project will involve extensive community engagement, REF (Review of Environmental Factors) preparation, and public consultation ahead of construction commencing in late 2027.
  • Additional road and infrastructure upgrades, including Hill Road (Olympic Park), Pennant Hills Road widening, and Epping Bridge widening.
Key deliverables of the role
  • Lead the communications and engagement elements of Review of Environmental Factors (REF) documentation.
  • Prepare collateral, communication plans, exhibitions, and pop-up sessions to support REF public display.
  • Support government and ministerial briefing requirements.
  • Manage stakeholder and community engagement, clearly communicating project impacts during construction and delivery.
  • Translate complex environmental and technical information into clear, accessible messaging.
  • Work collaboratively within a supportive team of nine, while contributing to a wider infrastructure delivery group of over 90.
To be successful, you’ll bring:
  • 5+ years’ experience in communications, stakeholder engagement, or public affairs.
  • Strong background in infrastructure, transport, or construction projects.
  • Experience working on REF documentation or environmental planning approvals.
  • Ability to manage complex stakeholder relationships and government engagement.
  • A collaborative, energetic approach with the confidence to work autonomously when required.
Why Apply?
This is a chance to use your communications expertise to deliver outcomes that make a real difference to communities. You’ll be working on projects that improve safety, ease congestion, and provide better transport connections across Sydney. The role offers flexibility, professional growth, and the opportunity to be part of a passionate, project-driven team.
