Ready to build your career? We want to hear from you.

Step into the spotlight as a Communications Lead at Pomerleau Construction, where your voice will shape the narrative of some of Canada’s most ambitious building and infrastructure projects. From the ground-breaking to the ribbon-cutting, you’ll be at the heart of it all—driving stakeholder engagement, crafting transparent and proactive communications, and navigating the high-stakes world of media relations, crisis response, and public inquiries.

Collaborate closely with the Community Relations Lead to ensure aligned and mutually supportive engagement efforts.

Participate in a multi-stage interview process and potentially on-site engagement to assess community fit and readiness.

Build trust with Indigenous and local communities through strong interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and authentic engagement.

Travel to remote locations (e.g., Moose Factory Island, Moosonee), with comfort in remote living and a valid driver’s license.

Lead the communications and stakeholder engagement team, manage budgets and performance indicators, and advise on sensitive issues.

This role could be for you if you have:

Degree or Diploma in communications, marketing, public relations.

Specific media relations experience including drafting news releases, crisis communications, community relations, media strategy
