A joint venture between John Holland and Gamuda Australia has been selected by Transport for NSW to deliver the M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace Southern Package - a key missing link in one of the country's busiest transport corridors.

The $1.029 billion southern package will deliver a 10-kilometre dual carriageway motorway extension between Black Hill and Tomago. There will be 8 bridges that include a 2.6km viaduct and new congestion-busting interchanges at Black Hill, Tarro and Tomago.

About the role:

An opportunity exists for a PR / Communications Coordinator to join our M1 Black Hill to Tomago Team, delivering the new M1 extension project for Transport for NSW.

We are looking for someone with excellent communications skills and a nose for news. You will be responsible for chasing good news stories with our internal teams and developing content across a range of formats including web, socials, video and traditional media. You will be creative, enthusiastic and have the ability to dig through the technical dirt to find the gold (puns intended).

Responsibilities of the role include:

• Identify positive news stories and media opportunities as well as generate regular content for publication across a variety of channels
• Write general communications collateral such as notifications, media releases and social media posts to keep the community updated on impacts and progress
• Manage the project website including uploading content, making suggestions for improvement and ensuring it is kept up to date
• Assist in arranging community information sessions, site tours, community and internal events including presentations and speaking notes
• Liaise with the construction team to ensure community and stakeholders are notified in advance of works in accordance with the Community Relations strategy
• Undertake face to face consultation with local stakeholders and community members as required

To be successful in this key role, you’ll have the following;

• Tertiary Degree (Bachelor level) or Certificate in Communications, Journalism or relevant work experience
• An ability to write across a variety of platforms and a keen interest in telling stories
• Be comfortable coming to work in jeans and boots, occasionally getting those boots dirty on site to snap some photos, and working with a wide range of people across a diverse construction team.

Full or part time options can be considered for the right applicant. This will be predominantly a site-based role (at Tarro) with options to work from home to be negotiated with your manager.
