Monitor and evaluate communication effectiveness and engagement metrics. Represent the business at UK and international industry events when required. About You You’ll be a confident and capable communicator who can combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.

Essential Experience: Proven experience in a communications role, ideally within engineering, manufacturing, or another technical industry. Excellent writing and editorial skills for technical and corporate audiences. Strong experience in media relations and managing press engagement. Familiarity with digital content tools, social media platforms, and analytics. Previous leadership or team management experience. Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills. Proactive, organised, and able to work to deadlines. Desirable Experience: Knowledge of Account-Based Marketing (ABM) and B2B content strategies. Experience in sectors with regulatory or reputational sensitivities. Familiarity with Salesforce Marketing Cloud or similar tools. Understanding of internal communications in a manufacturing or engineering setting. Personal Attributes Excellent attention to detail and commitment to quality. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Flexible, can-do attitude with a drive for improvement. Self-motivated, proactive, and results-focused. Reliable, collaborative, and professional. Requirements Must be eligible to obtain relevant UK security clearances. Package and Benefits Competitive salary and benefits offered. Permanent, full-time position. Flexible working hours (Monday–Thursday, with an early finish on Friday). Standard company benefits package. On-site facilities and wellbeing initiatives. Opportunities for professional growth and leadership development. Office-based in Newcastle upon Tyne, with some UK and overseas travel (up to 20%).
