• Practical experience in a controlled-document or quality-management environment (revision control, approval routing, change notices).
• Advanced Microsoft Word skills; competence with PDF production, technical-illustration tools, and a version-control or document-management system.
• Exceptional written English and the ability to extract undocumented knowledge and convert it into content engineers and technicians can validate.
• Willingness to complete a technical-writing assessment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Trade qualification combined with an engineering degree.
• Structured-authoring experience (DITA, S1000D, CCMS, or comparable).
• OEM equipment IOM or field-service literature experience.
• Content ownership experience with a technician-facing mobile or web application.
