  • While public engagement will not be your core role, the successful candidate will effectively communicate our projects to the community including:
    • Experience with planning, supporting, and/or executing successful public engagement activities
    • Seeking input early in design through a variety of methods, including virtual and in-person public meetings and deployment of survey tools.
    • Describing how designs address the project need using effective graphics and written/oral communication
      • 1:1 conversations with concerned stakeholders
