CFMEU Construction & General Division

The CFMEU Construction & General Division represents over 80,000 workers and is one of Australia’s strongest and most active trade unions. We organise workers, improve safety standards, win better wages and conditions, and lead campaigns that create lasting change across the construction industry.

As the Union continues its reform journey under Administration, we are building a modern, transparent and member-centred organisation ready to return to democratic control. As part of this work, we are expanding capability across the organisation and recruiting talented people in a range of disciplines to help build the future of the Union.

These opportunities are part of the Union’s reform and capability-building program and are intended to create new capacity and fill vacancies across the organisation. They are not designed to replace existing staff or displace current employees from their roles.

About the Role

The CFMEU is seeking talented and committed people with experience in Media & Communications who want to use their skills to make a difference for working people in the construction industry.

Working as part of a dynamic and purpose-driven organisation, you may help communicate the Union's priorities, campaigns and achievements to members, workers and the broader community. You may contribute to media engagement, content creation, strategic communications, stakeholder engagement and campaign activity that supports the Union's objectives.

Positions may be based within National Office or one of the Union's branches across Australia; including VIC, TAS, NSW, ACT, QLD, NT, SA, WA.

About You

We are looking for people who:

• Have a strong commitment to fairness, collective action and social justice
• Are motivated by improving outcomes for workers
• Build strong relationships and work collaboratively
• Demonstrate initiative, sound judgement and professionalism
• Thrive in dynamic environments and are willing to take on challenges
• Bring experience, expertise and practical problem-solving skills
• Experience working in the construction industry and/or a demonstrated understanding of issues affecting construction workers will be highly regarded.

If you are driven, collaborative, and ready to help shape a more inclusive and powerful future for our union, we’d love to hear from you.
