Communications Strategist

You’re the kind of communicator who doesn’t wait for a perfect brief. You take something messy, figure out what matters, and make it clear. You write well and you move fast, including with AI tools, without trading accuracy or judgment for speed. 

About Fehr & Peers 

We’re a transportation planning and engineering firm with 24 offices and more than 400 staff nationwide. Since 1985, we’ve partnered with public, private, and institutional clients to design and plan safer, more effective ways for people and goods to move. We bring together data, technology, and the experiences of the communities we serve to help clients make confident, well-informed decisions. 

The Role 

You’ll join our seven-person corporate communications team supporting a fast-moving, technically complex organization. Staff come to us with a headline and minimal context. Your job is to take those requests, clarify what’s needed, recommend a smart communications approach, and deliver strong final work.  

You’ll focus on firmwide internal communications and external marketing content across channels like our intranet, LinkedIn, email, blog, presentations, templates, and webinars. This is an individual contributor role. You will own select channels and high-priority projects from intake through publishing, working in close coordination with our communications manager and designers.  

This is a hybrid role based in Roseville. You’ll typically come into the office two days per week, with occasional travel to Walnut Creek (usually quarterly). 

What You’ll Do 

Own end-to-end delivery for your work  

• Take in messy requests, clarify what matters, and recommend an approach (audience, goal, message, channel, timing), aligned with team priorities. 

• Draft, revise, coordinate reviews, and publish deliverables with speed, accuracy, and strong judgment. 

• Manage multiple projects with limited direction. Set priorities, make reasonable assumptions, and flag risks, tradeoffs, and decision points early. 

Deliver content across internal and external channels  

• Create internal communications that support firmwide clarity, knowledge-sharing, and change efforts (announcements, intranet posts, leader-facing messaging support). 

• Create external marketing communications that promote our services and expertise (LinkedIn, blog content, campaigns, high-visibility messaging support). 

• Translate technical work into clear, useful content while maintaining nuance and applying our brand voice and standards.
