You’ll deliver communication plans, written articles, graphics/visuals, photography and videos across internal channels, including our weekly employee email, intranet, digital screens, internal social media and other platforms. You’ll keep SharePoint pages fresh, edit content with digital tools, track what’s working (and what isn’t), and stay on the hunt for smarter, faster ways to deliver. You’re curious, you ask great questions, and you can turn complex topics into relatable, engaging narratives. Quality matters — and we’re always looking for ways to raise the bar. As a Communications Senior Specialist, your work will help power our planet, reduce carbon emissions and create cleaner air for everyone. Are you ready to take on the challenge to help us build the future?
