Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Davidson Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

About the Company

This purpose-led organisation is empowering communities to make the shift toward sustainable energy solutions. With a strong social mission and a start-up mindset, they deliver programs that educate and support households to adopt cleaner, smarter technologies while driving long-term environmental impact.

About the Role

As Community Engagement Specialist, you'll be at the heart of connecting with communities to raise awareness and drive participation in local sustainability programs. You'll plan and deliver engagement activities that build trust and inspire behaviour change - from information sessions and local partnerships to event activations across metro and regional areas.

This is a hands-on role that combines strategic engagement planning with grassroots delivery. Some regional travel and occasional after-hours or weekend work will be required, with time in lieu and travel expenses provided.

This is a 6-month fixed-term opportunity ideal for an experienced community engagement professional who enjoys hands-on, purpose-driven work.

About You

You're a natural communicator and connector - someone who enjoys engaging with diverse communities and making complex topics feel simple, relevant, and achievable.

You'll bring:

  • Experience in community engagement, stakeholder relations, or public outreach, ideally in sustainability, energy, or environmental sectors.
  • Strong relationship-building skills across local government, industry, and the public.
  • Proven ability to plan, promote, and deliver engagement activities such as workshops, activations, or events.
  • Excellent communication and project coordination skills, with a flexible and proactive approach.
  • A genuine interest in helping communities understand and embrace renewable energy solutions.

The Benefits

  • Work with a purpose-driven organisation delivering tangible impact for Victorians.
  • Join a collaborative, agile team with a start-up culture and strong community values.
  • Regional travel and event-based variety - no two weeks are the same.
  • Hybrid working environment, CBD location, and time in lieu for out-of-hours work.
