Description

Arcadis is the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets. We are more than 36,000 people, in over 70 countries, dedicated to improving quality of life. Everyone has an important role to play. With the power of many curious minds, together we can solve the world's most complex challenges and deliver more impact together. Role Description: Arcadis is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Community Outreach Coordinator to support one of the most iconic and consequential infrastructure initiatives in the United States — the Gateway Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP). In this role, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our senior leadership team. You will be responsible for providing comprehensive administrative assistance to executives, ensuring seamless operations, and contributing to the overall success of the organization. We are working in partnership with Parsons and Mace as part of the MPA Delivery Partner team, selected by the Gateway Development Commission to deliver this transformative project. The HTP is a critical component of the broader Gateway Program — one of the most ambitious and impactful transportation initiatives in the nation — and is designed to strengthen mobility, enhance resiliency, and ensure the long-term reliability of the Northeast Corridor. The project encompasses the construction of a new, two-track rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River, along with the full rehabilitation of the existing 113-year-old North River Tunnel. This vital infrastructure supports more than 200,000 daily passengers via Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT and serves as a backbone for economic activity and connectivity between New York and New Jersey. This is more than just a job — it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to contribute to a nationally significant infrastructure program that will reshape rail transportation, drive sustainable economic growth, and improve regional accessibility for millions. As part of this high-performing, multidisciplinary team, you will help deliver excellence on one of the most technically complex and high-profile projects in the world. If you're seeking to make a meaningful, lasting impact — while advancing your career alongside some of the best minds in the industry — this is your moment. Role Accountabilities: Assist in the planning, coordination, and execution of community engagement programming at Community Engagement Centers (CECs) and surrounding areas to raise awareness of the project. Support the delivery of educational outreach initiatives, including the development and facilitation of age-appropriate presentations for elementary, middle, and high school students. Coordinate and lead site tours to enhance public understanding of the project. Serve as a liaison between the project team and the local community, helping to address concerns, resolve issues, and maintain strong, positive relationships throughout the project's duration. Develop, update, and distribute outreach materials such as presentations, flyers, and other communication collateral to support engagement efforts. Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Communications, Public Relations, Community Engagement, or related field. Minimum of 3 years of experience in community outreach, public relations, or stakeholder engagement, preferably in construction or infrastructure projects. Key Skills and Abilities: Strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and cultural sensitivity to engage with diverse communities. Excellent written and verbal communication abilities. Proficiency in MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams). Adept in learning new technologies and software. Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and build relationships with various stakeholders. Knowledge of community engagement best practices, public involvement techniques, and communication strategies. Why Arcadis? We can only achieve our goals when everyone is empowered to be their best.
