Occasional travel may be needed for events such as All Staff meetings at the Depot.

- Manage communication tools including the intranet, digital signage
- Prepare and plan submissions for the Weekly Monday Memo and the Executive Leadership Update
- Provide best practise communications advice
What you will bring
- Degree or diploma qualification in communications, marketing or business administration or equivalent with some relevant experience or lesser formal qualification and substantial relevant experience in the field of specialist expertise.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong ability to develop and implement internal communication strategies
- Experience managing digital communication channels (e.g. intranet, newsletters, signage)
- Ability to work collaboratively with multiple stakeholders across an organisation
If you progress past the interview stage, you may be required to complete pre-employment screening, which may include police checks, a medical, qualification verification, and an Australian work rights check.
