The ideal candidate brings a balance of strategic thinking, strong written and verbal communication skills, and hands-on experience implementing public engagement programs in the AEC or similar environment. This role requires frequent interactions with people through in-person meetings, phone calls, virtual meetings, and other direct communication methods, with occasional travel required.

Key Responsibilities

Develop outreach strategies tailored to local audiences, project phases, and regulatory requirements.
Coordinate with project managers, graphic designers, and web teams to deliver consistent, on-brand materials.
- Prepare public-facing materials such as flyers, fact sheets, meeting exhibits, presentations, websites, surveys, and social media content.
- Prepare clear, audience-appropriate messaging that explains complex technical concepts in plain language.
Coordinate and execute outreach and meeting prep logistics.
Facilitate in-person and virtual meetings. Responsibilities include set-up and tear-down, delivery of materials, run of show details, and staff coordination.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Communications, Public Relations, Urban Planning, Public Administration, Marketing, Hospitality or Event Management, or a related field.
2–5+ years of experience in public involvement, communications, stakeholder engagement, or event management.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with attention to clarity and accuracy.
Proficient in Microsoft Office applications and Adobe Creative Suite
Enjoys working and interacting with people
Ability to travel for the role as needed
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience supporting events, public meetings, or outreach activities — preferably within the AEC, transportation, or public sector environment.
Experience with digital engagement tools (online surveys, interactive maps, virtual open houses, social media).
Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary technical teams.

Application Requirements
