Communications & Community Engagement Manager (Energy / Infrastructure)

Are you a former journalist or PR professional who can explain complicated things clearly, and stay calm when people are upset?

Smartland Energy is looking for a communications professional to be the clear, trusted voice between our company and the communities where we work.

Our projects, including data centers and energy infrastructure, raise real questions for local residents about water, power bills, land, and their future. Some people are curious. Some are worried. Some are frustrated and distrustful. We need someone who can communicate with all of them honestly, accurately, and respectfully.

This is not a generic content writing job. You'll be working on high-stakes communication where accuracy matters and every word counts.

What you'll do:

• Write clear, accurate public communications, including FAQs, fact sheets, emails, web updates, social posts, and print materials, on technical and sometimes sensitive topics

• Research complex subjects and work with engineers, leadership, and experts to make sure everything is correct before it's published

• Draft responses to resident questions and concerns, even when people are upset, with honesty and empathy

• Plan and execute multi-channel campaigns such as public meeting announcements across social, email, web, and print

• Prepare materials and messaging for community meetings and stakeholder outreach

• Keep one consistent, trustworthy voice across every channel

• Track what's working, such as open rates, attendance, questions received, and sentiment, and report on results

• Handle sensitive and not-yet-public information with complete discretion

You're a great fit if you:

• Have a background in journalism, communications, PR, or a related field (Mass Comm, DevComm, English, Humanities, etc.)
