About P4I

Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) is an Australian Government initiative partnering with Southeast Asia to drive sustainable, inclusive, and resilient growth through quality infrastructure. P4I partners with Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

P4I works with partners to strengthen infrastructure decision-making and practice across the transport, energy, utilities and telecommunications sectors. P4I’s focus is on the early stages of the infrastructure lifecycle, including planning and prioritisation, financing strategy, and procurement. 

The 4 main services offered by P4I are linkages with Australian government agencies and other institutions, technical and policy advice, infrastructure project advice and knowledge-sharing and learning. As the foundation of quality infrastructure, P4I also integrates gender equality, disability, and social inclusion, and disaster risk reduction and climate change considerations into all activities. 

Delivered through a single team, P4I is led by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in collaboration with EY, Adam Smith International, The Asia Foundation and Ninti One. P4I has a regional head office in Bangkok, with staff also located in Australia and each partner country. 

The Role

P4I requires a writer to respond to a range of writing and editing assignments to promote P4I activities and priorities in Southeast Asia. The writer will be expected to write and/or edit a range of P4I communications and knowledge content across the entire P4I portfolio on a casual or part-time basis. 

P4I communications is focused on promoting P4I services and expertise, showcasing Australian infrastructure examples and impact, and advocating for resilient and inclusive infrastructure in Southeast Asia. 

Requests for content may be for the communication channels of P4I, DFAT and senior DFAT representatives, Australian embassies in partner countries, and government partners. Assignments will often involve liaising with technical infrastructure experts, conducting independent research, and/or translating technical and complex information into plain English.
