The Opportunity:
Kent is recruiting a Regional Communications Specialist to join our global
Corporate Communications and Advocacy team on a permanent basis. This newly
created role offers a strong opportunity to build a career within a specialist
global communications function in a fast-paced, international energy business.
Based in Perth, you’ll be embedded in the central global team within a key
market. Your role is to ensure global communications reflect regional insights
by building relationships, gathering content, and providing local context to
support impactful, market-relevant messaging.
Reporting to a Global Communications Director, you’ll collaborate on content,
campaigns, events, and media support. Acting as the link between regional
activity and global output, you’ll play a critical role in shaping accurate and
credible communications.
This role suits someone looking to grow and make an impact. You’ll join a
high-performing global team, gain exposure to major initiatives including M&A
and brand campaigns, and take on increasing responsibility as you develop.
In this role, the ideal candidate will bring:

rapport quickly and find it easy to connect with people across different
levels and backgrounds.

knowledge of the industry, your regional market and the communications
landscape within it.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability
to summarise, contextualise and communicate information clearly and with good
judgement.
* A proactive, self-starting approach – you actively look for stories,
opportunities and insights rather than waiting to be directed, and you bring
energy and enthusiasm to your work.
* Comfort working with significant autonomy whilst remaining a committed,
visible and collaborative member of a remote global team.
* A genuine willingness to travel, both within your region and periodically to
the central team and other markets
It would be an advantage if you have:
* Some experience or study in communications, marketing, journalism, public
relations or a related field.
* Any exposure to the energy, engineering or industrial sectors – candidates
with relevant industry background will be given priority consideration.
* Experience in a role that involved building relationships and influencing
people, even outside a formal communications context.
* Familiarity with social media platforms used in a professional or
organisational context.
* Any experience with content capture, photography, video or basic content
creation tools.
* Speak an additional language
Benefits:
* Attractive salary & benefits
* Work/Life balance friendly workplace
* Health & Wellbeing Program
* Employee Assistance Program
* Inclusion & Belonging Program
* Health insurance discount
* Work for a brand that's been in the industry for over 100 years.
* Great Culture | Safety Focused | Collaborative Team
* Opportunity to work on some of the largest Projects on the energy world
stage.
We foster an environment where you are challenged professionally and empowered
to take the lead on your career development with the support and guidance of our
