Technical Writer (Part Time)

About the role

ActioNet is seeking a part-time Technical Writer / Program Support Specialist to support a Navy technology modernization program in San Diego, CA. This dual-function role serves as the program’s shared documentation specialist and workforce training coordinator. As documentation specialist, you transform engineer-generated technical content into polished, Government-ready deliverables that meet Navy documentation conventions and maintain a common documentation baseline (templates, style, acronym discipline, marking standards) across multiple lines of effort. As training coordinator, you support the Program Manager in executing a Government workforce training pilot—coordinating commercial training providers, managing schedules and rosters, administering pre- and post-training assessments, and compiling participant outcomes. The two functions converge: the person who coordinates training and collects assessment data also authors the training outcomes deliverables.

Responsibilities

• Structure, edit, format, and finalize technical deliverables including current-state assessments, use case backlogs, architecture and integration concept documents, prototype/test plans, bills of materials documentation, validation reports, and scale-out roadmaps.
• Produce executive-ready briefing materials (PowerPoint) summarizing technical findings, recommendations, risks, and decision points for Government stakeholders.
• Apply Navy/NAVWAR documentation conventions, including DoDAF-style architecture viewpoints, SIPH-aligned engineering documentation formats, standardized acronym lists, and CUI marking and portion-marking requirements.
• Support program documentation: program management plan, milestone review packages, monthly status reports, and risk register narratives.
• Draft recurring on-demand support summaries and maintain a software materials and license management/tracking document across the period of performance.
• Develop and enforce deliverable templates and a common style guide across all program lines of effort.
• Coordinate commercial training provider logistics, scheduling, enrollment, and delivery for a Government workforce training pilot and follow‑on cohorts.
• Administer pre‑training baseline assessments and post‑training assessments developed under Program Manager direction; manage rosters, attendance, and participation tracking.
• Collect, organize, and quantify participant feedback and proficiency results; author the Participant Feedback and Outcomes Summary
