Stonehouse, Gloucestershire
Description & Scope
As part of the Manufacturing team, you will create and update instructions for assembly and testing of our products with the help of relevant subject matter experts. You will support manufacturing project teams, facilitating the creation and updates of high‑quality and accurate technical documents such as assembly and test procedures. This is for exciting new projects involving hardware (mechanical, electronics, electrical) and some software.
You will be required to produce and maintain user documentation for our products to agreed corporate standards and timescales.
Your goal is to present technical information in a clear, accurate and concise manner that can be understood clearly so that manufacturing can produce tools efficiently: this also includes ensuring safety notices are included, images such as photos or illustrations, and being able to get feedback from users to implement in future revisions.
Training and mentoring will be given in all aspects of technical writing and information design to help you create content that is easy to find, easy to use, and easy to understand for end users.
Responsibilities
- Create, update, and maintain technical assembly and test procedures working closely with project engineering teams.
- Work closely with the manufacturing engineers and technicians to observe the assembly of products and be able to implement updates as required.
- Manage the requests for change tickets and ensure they are prioritised and implemented while collaborating with the project managers.
- Author documentation in a structured way that maximises comprehension and ease of use.
- Produce clear, concise and accurate content.
- Edit documents supplied by subject matter experts according to corporate standards and style.
- Source information from internal project documentation such as CAD drawings, specifications and interviews with team members as well as from change request tickets.
- Manage review cycles and incorporate review comments.
- Produce and edit graphics such as taking photos during engineering assembly, cropping photos, adding annotations, and repurposing engineering 3D CAD models to produce renders and exploded views. You may also create animated assembly sequences or short how‑to videos.
Qualifications
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Any previous writing experience, especially technical or instructional documents, would be advantageous.
- Experience and understanding of basic engineering principles so you can work effectively with the manufacturing team to update and create documentation and observe builds while documenting them.
- Experience with software such as CAD, Photoshop and Illustrator to create and edit images.
- Good organisational and interpersonal skills to manage the flow of information from contributors and reviewers.
- Strong attention to detail and an eye for improving existing work.
- Self‑starter, independent and fast learner to help us create great user documentation.
