Job description

This established engineering software and modelling company have typically given responsibility within their technical team for all documentation. However, with a recent reorganisation, they have decided to recruit for a dedicated Technical Writer to take charge of all their documentation processes including quality control and standardisation of company guidelines. The focus will be to continue developing and maintaining technical documentation for their software suite, but will also cover product guides, training materials, release notes and marketing brochures.

The role is fully based onsite, as this person will be embedded within the technical team (sitting alongside software developers and scientists). Explicit engineering sector experience is not needed, but a familiarity and comfort with technical jargon combined with a high-level command of business English is expected. (Note, you will not need to produce content, but you would need to be able to parse, edit and format the content accordingly.)

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree and experience within technical software development.
• Demonstrable experience as technical writer or having significant technical writing responsibilities which includes a wide range of technical documentation production and maintenance
• Competency of modern documentation tools such as Flare.
• Excellent communication skills which should include demonstrable written English skills for technical documentation.

The role is fully onsite at their refurbished offices. Parking is available if required. On offer is an excellent remunerations package including benefits.
