HDR is seeking a Strategic Communications Team Lead, Western Canada to lead and grow our Strategic Communications services across Western Canada.

Provide Indigenous engagement leadership and expertise to clients and project teams, including Indigenous consultation, relationship-building, Indigenous rights and interests, and the evolving legal and regulatory environment.

We are seeking an experienced professional who combines strong communications and engagement expertise with demonstrated leadership, business development, and project delivery capabilities. The successful candidate will be comfortable advising senior clients and project teams, leading complex and potentially sensitive engagement programs, developing and mentoring staff, and working across a diverse portfolio of major infrastructure and development projects.

Primary Responsibilities

Lead the delivery and growth of HDR's Strategic Communications services across Western Canada, supporting projects across transportation, water, resources, energy, architecture, environmental, planning, and other infrastructure sectors.

Provide strategic counsel to clients and project teams on communications, stakeholder relationships, public perception, emerging and contentious issues, and project risks and opportunities.
Lead stakeholder and public engagement programs, including meetings, workshops, open houses, advisory groups, and other engagement activities, and oversee the development of supporting communications materials and deliverables.
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.
