Working in more than 140 countries, the firm's designers, engineers, architects, planners, consultants, and technical specialists work with our clients on innovative projects of the highest quality and impact.

The Opportunity

Join our dynamic EIMEA Marketing, Communications & Business Development (MCBD) team to play a pivotal role in supporting our internal communications initiatives.

We're looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic Internal Communications Coordinator with around 2-3 years' experience to join our growing team across EIMEA. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your communication skill set while helping shape how we engage with our people across diverse geographies, cultures, and business areas.

You'll be part of a collaborative internal communications team and support a broad range of activities, including employee and executive communications, content creation, member engagement and strategic communications programmes.

In this role, you'll provide coordination, content creation, and reporting on communication performance and engagement. You'll create engaging content, help manage communication channels, support regional events, and contribute to projects that meet our strategic priorities.

You'll work closely with internal communications professionals across EIMEA and benefit from ongoing professional development opportunities through our Marketing, Communications and Business Development (MCBD) network. If you're passionate about storytelling, engagement, and making a difference through communication, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll bring fresh ideas, a curious mindset, and a willingness to experiment with new approaches to internal engagement. Whether you're experienced in internal communications or looking to grow in this space, we're looking for someone who's proactive, organised, and excited to contribute to a global team.
