Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Tell our story. Create content that shows people what Gallagher is actually like; from major projects and equipment to employee stories, community involvement, safety initiatives, recruiting, and the everyday moments that make good content.
  • Own our social media presence. Help plan, create, schedule, and publish content across our social channels. You'll gather photos and video, write posts, engage with our community, monitor what's working, and bring forward ideas for how we can do it better.
  • Get out where the action is. Construction doesn't happen behind a desk, and neither should all of our marketing. You'll spend time with our office, field, plant, and shop teams learning what they do, building relationships, taking photos and video, asking questions, and finding stories worth sharing.
  • Create content people actually want to see. You'll work on employee spotlights, project stories, company videos, graphics, website content, recruiting materials, presentations, and other creative projects. If you enjoy taking an idea and figuring out how to make it engaging, you'll have plenty of opportunities here!
  • Help us communicate better internally. You'll partner with our Director of People & Culture and other company leaders to turn company updates into clear, useful communications for our employees.
  • Celebrate our people. Birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, retirements, employee accomplishments, team wins; we want our employees to know that their contributions matter. You'll help us find meaningful and creative ways to recognize them and tell their stories.
  • Bring events to life. You'll take the lead on planning designated company events, employee celebrations, recruiting events, community activities, and other company initiatives. You'll have administrative support for logistics, but you'll be the person helping pull the overall experience together.

Requirements

  • At least 2–4 years of experience in marketing, communications, social media, content creation, public relations, event planning, or a related field.
  • A four-year degree in Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, or a related area is preferred, but relevant experience matters too.
  • Experience with tools like Canva, social media platforms, website/CMS tools, Microsoft Office, project-management programs, and AI tools.
  • Basic photography and video editing skills are also valuable.
  • Construction experience? Great, but it's not required.
