Job description

Apply now Job no : 494617

Work type : Full Time Permanent

Location : New South Wales

Categories : Communications / Community Relations

We are looking for an experienced Community and Stakeholder Engagement professional to join our team at CreekConnect, someone who thrives on building trust and creating meaningful connections with the Western Sydney community. You will lead engagement strategies, manage complex issues with empathy, and keep communities and customers informed throughout major works. Your clear communication, sharp thinking and collaborative approach will make a real difference and help shape the future of Western Sydney.

Join CreekConnect and be part of a large-scale, long-term joint venture between Seymour Whyte and Jacobs, awarded by Sydney Water as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) project. As the region expands, so does the need for sustainable and resilient water solutions. The Upper South Creek Network will feature new wastewater pumping stations and gravity carriers, with the first work stage beginning before the year's end. The project also emphasises safety, digital engineering, and compliance with the latest standards, ensuring it meets future needs effectively.

About Seymour Whyte

We are a successful civil contracting business that has been operating in Australia for over 35 years. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world-class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.

As a progressive, leading civil engineering firm built on the strong foundations of our unique history, we engage, enable and empower our people to be better. With you, we are altogether stronger, in building the future we want.

About the Role

  • Adapt to working across diverse project site locations, including the Parramatta office, Austral etc, to meet stakeholder and community needs
  • Partner with Sydney Water’s delivery contractors to design and deliver effective engagement plans for impacted stakeholders, communities and customers
  • Contribute as part of multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Build strong relationships with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
  • Foster a positive team culture and take an active role in continuous improvement initiatives
  • Demonstrate Sydney Water and CreekConnect values, ensuring the customer remains at the centre of everything we do

About You

  • Previous experience in infrastructure projects, ideally within the water sector
  • Familiarity with IAP2 principles (International Association for Public Participation) is an advantage
  • Tertiary qualifications in communications, public relations, sustainability, environmental science, urban planning, engineering, social sciences or a related discipline
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to solve problems and think critically
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, coupled with emotional intelligence and empathy
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach and commitment to continuous improvement
  • Current driver’s licence, as travel to Western Sydney sites will be required
  • Company Benefits

  • Health & Wellbeing – discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, wellness discounts, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).
  • Time for life / Work life balance – birthday leave, purchased leave program, paid parental leave and flexible work arrangements.
  • Financial wellbeing – competitive remuneration, annual performance bonuses, salary continuance insurance and employee share program.
  • Career development – training, mentoring programs, and leadership development program.
  • Many of our projects are in regional locations or require site access by vehicle, so all applicants must hold a current driver’s licence and have their own transport.

    Seymour Whyte is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds, including veterans. Our commitment to an equitable construction industry extends to an inclusive culture that embraces our differences and gives everyone the opportunity to grow and be equally valued. We're unified in our direction toward having a workplace that is balanced and fair for all.
