Auckland Transport (AT) helps 1.7m Aucklanders get around the city every day. We're on a mission to transform our transport network to connect people and get to the places they love. Be part of Auckland's exciting future by joining a newly created team that is transforming the way we communicate to customers travelling around the city.
Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity
In this role you will be responsible for developing and implementing communication and engagement strategies and plans to help Aucklanders get around every day. You'll ensure they get the information they need; in the channels they need them, to improve their travel experience across the city when there are changes to transport routes or disruptions.
Additionally, this role will support the wider Network and Disruption Communications team to help Aucklanders stay safe in a civil defence emergency.
Key Responsibilities include:
- Develop and deliver effective communication and engagement plans to help customers get around on the transport network and stay informed when there are changes (e.g. launching a new bus route or ensuring people are aware of a major road or rail closure).
- Develop engagement strategies to help keep our key stakeholders (including MPs, Councillors, Local Boards and business associations) informed of transport changes or disruptions in their areas.
- Support project teams and contractors in resolving stakeholder and community issues and lead proactive engagement strategies that showcase AT/NZTA's efforts to manage the transport network and minimise disruptions.
As part of the wider Network and Disruptions Communication team, you will work to ensure AT and NZTA maintain a high standard of consistent, external communications about the transport network and how to get around.
If you're looking for a purpose driven role where you'll make a positive impact on Aucklander's daily lives and you're passionate about delivering high-quality communications, we'd love to hear from you.
