Job Details:

Reporting to the Manager, Communications & Engagement, the Specialist, Corporate Communications supports the development and delivery of communications that reflect Trimac's culture, values, and leadership voice. This role develops communication plans, supports campaigns from planning through execution, and contributes to both internal and external corporate storytelling. The Specialist ensures messages are clear, consistent, and aligned with corporate standards to strengthen employee understanding, public awareness, and organizational reputation.

We are seeking a detail-oriented and collaborative professional to support day-to-day content operations and ensure all internal communications meet brand, accessibility, and technical standards. This role will focus on the creation of original written, graphic, and video content to support internal campaigns and engagement initiatives.

Who You Are:

You're someone who knows how to translate information into messaging that actually connects. Writing and editing come naturally to you, and you can shift tone depending on the audience, whether it's operations, leadership, customers, or internal teams. You've written communication plans, built campaign messaging, and supported rollouts across multiple channels without losing clarity or accuracy.

You work comfortably with communication platforms like SharePoint and CMS tools for web content, and you stay active across key social media channels to support brand presence. You bring creative value too, with experience in graphic design and basic video content creation, treating visuals and storytelling as assets, not afterthoughts.

Fast-changing environments don't throw you off; you stay organized, balance multiple priorities, and make sure deadlines are met with accuracy still intact. Most importantly, you collaborate well, consider feedback, build strong working relationships, and protect the brand by representing it thoughtfully and professionally when you communicate, create, or coordinate.
