If just being a normal human being who can read and understand normal stuff makes you immediately a "good communicator" then I also agree that being a "good communicator" is important for any job really. I personally think of someone as being a good communicator as somethign more than just normal basic humans skills and abilities to function around other people. I mean by that measure we are all good athletes if you can run 10 metres or kick a ball down the hill.

Communication is both sending and receiving. If you are only good at sending, you're not a good communicator. You have to be able to listen, both to what is said/written and what is not to be a good communicator. It's not a common skill with most engineers.
