  • Monitor, adapt and evaluate: Oversee engagement activities across the full project lifecycle, adapting methods and messaging in response to emerging issues, community sentiment and changing environments. Lead post‑delivery evaluation with a strong focus on continuous improvement.

  • Create tools, resources and content: You’ll drive the establishment of evaluation frameworks, plans and governance controls, as well as produce high‑quality engagement materials including project updates, fact sheets, web and social content, consultation reports and Council briefings.
