We are seeking a proactive and client-focused Communications Specialist to work with one of our major clients, RSE. The Communications Specialist will develop and own RSE's internal communications strategy, aligned to the company's growth ambitions and values.
As part of a well-established investment firm, Aquila is a team of skilled and dedicated marketing professionals who are passionate about creating bespoke branding and tailored digital marketing solutions. Aquila specialises in B2B marketing for niche sectors, including water, technology, and energy. Experience across these sectors has given us the insights to spot growth opportunities, strengthen a company's market position, and deliver outcomes that move their brand forward.
In this exciting role, you will work between RSE offices, Aquila's studio, and visit site locations throughout the UK.
About The Role: This is a newly created role that reflects RSE's ambition to build a truly connected organisation. As Communications Specialist, you'll be responsible for developing and delivering a communications strategy that reaches and resonates with a diverse, geographically dispersed, and largely technical workforce. You'll work closely with the senior leadership team and HR to ensure that everyone at RSE, from the Highland fabrication floor to the London project office, feels informed, engaged, and part of something bigger.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and own RSE's internal communications strategy, aligned to the company's growth ambitions and values.
- Build and manage an editorial calendar that keeps pace with a fast-moving, acquisition-led business.
- Advise senior leaders and business stream leads on how to communicate effectively with their teams.
- Write, edit, and produce compelling content across a range of formats from company-wide announcements and CEO updates to newsletters, intranet content, video scripts, and toolbox talks.
- Manage and continuously improve RSE's internal communications channels, ensuring they are accessible to both desk-based and site-based employees.
- Develop communications that translate complex engineering and business updates into clear, engaging language for a broad internal audience.
What Do You Need?
- Previous experience in internal communications, employee engagement, or corporate communications.
- Exceptional writing and editing skills with the ability to communicate technical and business content in a way that's clear and human.
- Experience working within a multi-site, geographically dispersed organisation; engineering, utilities, construction, or infrastructure experience is a strong advantage.
- Proven ability to support change communications, ideally in the context of business growth or M&A integration.
- Confident working with and advising senior stakeholders.
- Comfortable producing communications for both office-based and frontline or site-based employees.
- Familiarity with internal communications platforms (intranets, email broadcast tools, digital signage, etc.).
- Self-starter, very proactive, resourceful with a can-do attitude.
What We Offer? We offer a competitive salary, benefits, and holiday package and the opportunity to gain a wealth of experience. In addition, we are committed to the training and nurturing of talent and staff development. Our studio is an exciting and collaborative space where we promote and encourage creative and innovative thinking.
