• Exceptional written and verbal communications skills, with the proven ability to take complex technical information and translate into simplified terms.
• Tertiary qualification in communications, journalism, marketing or something of a similar discipline.
• You’ll have exceptional time management skills with the ability to prioritise, organise and plan for yourself and others.
• You’ll possess the ability to write for a variety of mediums such as radio, social media, newspaper, community notifications, reports, presentations and whatever else might come up.
• You’re proactive when it comes to solving problems and are confident to go out and find solutions on your own.
• Ability to develop and then maintain effective working relationships with a variety of people across our business and with external stakeholders.
• You’ll enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, where no two days are the same.
• High level of organisational and administrative skills.
• Must hold a valid driver’s licence or ability to obtain a licence to drive to meetings and events

If you meet some of these requirements, but not all, we encourage you to submit your application.
