Jen Scott

Jen has experience in strategic engagement, social planning, communication and facilitation across New Zealand and Australia.

Working on behalf of both private sector and government, Jen has led successful communication and engagement programmes on high profile and complex infrastructure, engineering and design projects, including the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, Sydney Light Rail, Great Western Highway in Sydney’s Blue Mountains, Auckland Airport Redevelopment, Auckland’s Northern Pathway (formally Skypath), and Auckland Light Rail.

Over the past several years, Jen has led the development of best practice communication and engagement for Waka Kotahi, delivering two practical guidelines to support the planning and delivery of projects across New Zealand.

Jen is committed to working with partners, stakeholders and community to ensure they are involved in key decisions and to create positive long-term outcomes within the community she is working. This often leads to community acceptance and the all-important social licence to operate.
