A06 Senior Communications Advisor

Ready to accelerate your career while shaping the future of Queensland's North Coast?

With a pipeline of major projects transforming transport networks across the region, this is your chance to step into a high-impact role and use your communication expertise to bring communities along for the journey.

  • 2 year Contract With Possible Extension
  • Sunshine Coast Location
  • Strong Stakeholder Manager

My Client is delivering projects that connect people and places-and they are looking for a skilled Senior Communications Advisor to ensure their progress is understood, celebrated, and supported. From building trust with local stakeholders to crafting stories that highlight community benefits, this role puts you at the centre of change.

If you're passionate about storytelling, strategy, and strengthening community connections, this is the opportunity to make your mark on one of Australia's fastest-growing regions.

What you'll be doing

In this role, you will:

  • Lead the design and delivery of strategic communications and engagement initiatives for key infrastructure projects.
  • Partner with project teams to turn complex technical information into accessible, engaging messages for the public.
  • Build lasting relationships with stakeholders, from contractors and councils to community groups and local businesses.
  • Develop and deliver a wide range of content-from media releases and newsletters to social media campaigns-that resonates with diverse audiences.
  • Provide expert advice to senior leaders and project managers on best practice communication approaches.
  • Anticipate issues, manage risks, and ensure information flows clearly and consistently to all stakeholders.
About you

You're a confident communicator who thrives in dynamic, fast-moving environments. You know how to balance creativity with strategy, and you're equally comfortable writing a press release, running a community information session, or advising executives.

To succeed, you'll bring:

  • Demonstrated experience in communications, engagement, or public relations (government or infrastructure experience highly regarded).
  • A knack for making complex ideas easy to understand and engaging for all audiences.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage and influence diverse groups.
  • Excellent writing and editing skills, backed by sound judgement and political awareness.
  • A proactive approach to problem-solving, with the ability to adapt quickly when priorities shift.

Tertiary qualifications in Communications, Public Relations or a related discipline are desirable. IAP2 certification will be highly regarded.

At Empire Group, we value diversity and are committed to equitable recruitment. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from culturally diverse backgrounds, people with disability, and other underrepresented groups to apply. Our focus is on creating fair, accessible, and culturally safe recruitment processes that genuinely reflect and respect the communities we serve.
