Reviews
I am satisfied, however there is more I can learn.
My role is to assist in delivering the strategic communications & stakeholder relations applicable to certain projects. I complete the ground work, assisting enquiries from concerned and immediately affected stakeholders. I also have a hand in organising community engagement events.
Current responsibilities involve reading design reports and drawings to get me up to speed on the project and how it works, sit in on meetings, help mentor with tasks
