We are seeking an experienced professional who combines strong communications and engagement expertise with demonstrated leadership, business development, and project delivery capabilities.

Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, government agencies, stakeholders, community organizations, Indigenous communities, and other project partners.
Function as a Project Manager or Strategic Communications Lead, with responsibility for scope, schedule, budget, quality, resourcing, client relationships, and multidisciplinary coordination.
Lead, mentor, and provide technical direction to Strategic Communications professionals while collaborating with engineering, architecture, environmental, planning, and advisory teams across HDR.
Lead and support Indigenous engagement and consultation, including relationship-building with Indigenous communities and providing advice on the Duty to Consult and Accommodate, Aboriginal and Treaty Rights and interests, Indigenous Knowledge and land use, UNDRIP, FPIC, cultural protocols, and relevant regulatory frameworks.
Maintain awareness of emerging communications, stakeholder, regulatory, and Indigenous relations developments across Western Canada, particularly British Columbia, and apply relevant developments to HDR's projects and services.

Business Development and Practice Growth

Contribute to the growth of HDR's Strategic Communications practice across Western Canada by developing client relationships, identifying market opportunities, and building a strong pipeline of work.
Lead and support proposals, capture planning, scopes, fee development, interviews, and strategic pursuits across HDR's engineering, architecture, environmental, and advisory markets.
Identify opportunities to expand Strategic Communications and Indigenous engagement services within existing and prospective client relationships and multidisciplinary projects.
Develop strategic relationships with clients, industry partners, Indigenous communities and businesses, and subconsultants to strengthen project delivery and market opportunities.
Collaborate with HDR leadership and professionals across Canada to strengthen capabilities, share resources, and build HDR's market presence through industry participation, conferences, professional associations, and thought leadership.
