Web designer/journalist

We've posted a unique opportunity, or more accurately opportunities, for students with journalism and/or website and social media design, coding and development capacity, to turn our Canadian online construction publication into a much more effective online resource.

At present, the Canadian Design and Construction Report (www.cadcr.com) is housed at a website that is far from optimal.  The online magazine, which you can access through the site, is much better than its webpage home.  We want to change that -- making the website an exciting, dynamic, frequently updated location, where the magazine (updated less frequently) has a wonderful and continuing presence.

This work requires journalistic skills and imagination -- we can show you the basics of the construction industry -- but you will apply your understanding of journalism and social media to create a compelling presence -- and some basic website building and coding, ideally using the Wordpress platform (but you can suggest options. 

You may wish to work as a team; we'll be happy to create two part-time positions.

Work is primarily from your home(s), with the ability to visit our office for meetings or other efforts.  We'll invite you to our staff/office and planning meetings.

Work right now is for a four month term, but can be extended depending on how things progress.

Please submit your resume to buckshon@cnrgp.com.  We'll follow up with a questionnaire to determine the short-list applications.

Compensation is $15.00 per hour, with an anticipated 20 hours (flexible schedule) each week.
