Communications Manager – Engineering
Great communication keeps us connected – and for our engineering teams, that connection has never been more important.
As part of our corporate communications team, you’ll lead internal communications for Engineering – a department of over 1,800 colleagues based right across the North. From our major depots to smaller outstations, our engineers keep our fleet of 379 trains in safe, clean and reliable condition to carry thousands of customers each day.
Right now, Engineering is going through a major transformation – with new systems, facilities and kit helping our teams meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. As our Communications Manager for Engineering, you’ll bring people along on that journey. You’ll work closely with the Engineering leadership team to shape and deliver communications plans and campaigns to engage our engineering teams to embrace these changes as they take place.

What you’ll be doing

• Creating and delivering communications plans that support the Engineering transformation programme
• Building strong relationships across Engineering and the wider business to make the most of our existing channels
• Managing the reputation of the Engineering department, including announcements, events and key messaging
• Supporting company-wide campaigns and adapting them to land with our Engineering teams
• Making sure even our hardest-to-reach colleagues feel informed, connected and part of Northern’s future
