Technical Writer

About the Role

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, where your ideas and contributions will be valued and respected. The Manufacturing Organization requires a focused resource to develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), create operator work instructions and visual job aids, document manufacturing process flows and control plans, support engineering changes and document revisions, maintain manufacturing knowledge repositories, ensure documentation compliance with quality management systems, and support training and onboarding initiatives.

Key Business Benefits

• Improved Production Consistency: Standardized and clearly written work instructions reduce variation between operators, shifts, and production locations. Consistent execution of manufacturing processes helps ensure product quality and repeatability.
• Enhanced Quality and Reduced Defects: Clear documentation minimizes interpretation errors that can result in scrap, rework, and customer quality issues. A dedicated technical writer helps ensure process updates are accurately reflected in production documentation.
• Increased Manufacturing Productivity: Manufacturing engineers and supervisors currently spend significant time writing, updating, and formatting documentation. Assigning these responsibilities to a technical writer allows technical resources to focus on process optimization, capacity improvements, and operational performance.
• Faster Training and Onboarding: Well-structured work instructions, visual aids, and training documents reduce onboarding time for new operators and technicians. Employees become productive more quickly while requiring less supervisor intervention.
• Knowledge Retention: Critical manufacturing knowledge often resides with experienced operators and engineers. A technical writer captures this expertise and converts it into documented best practices, reducing organizational risk associated with employee turnover.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of relevant job experience

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in English, communications, journalism, or a related field (preferred)
