About The Position

Now Hiring: Technical Writer II YOU DO NOT NEED WRITING EXPERIENCE - We are looking for mechanics that don't want a hands on wrenching job, we are looking for someone who wants to use that knowledge in an AC/Heated environment using the skills to work with the DoD! Ever been the person everyone goes to when something breaks because you just get how machines work? Great news — you don’t need a fancy writing degree or years of experience. If you know your way around engines, gear, or diagnostics, we’ll teach you how to write the manuals. We’re looking for someone with solid mechanical or automotive know-how who’s ready to trade the wrench (part-time) for the keyboard. You’ll help us create clear, accurate manuals that don’t require a PhD to understand. What you'll actually do (besides looking smart): Learn how to turn complex equipment knowledge into technical manuals people can actually use. Work with engineers, techs, and fellow writers to get the info straight from the source. Use diagnostic tools, schematics, and your brain to figure things out (then write it down clearly). Work with tools like Microsoft Word, XML editors, and other fun software (we’ll train you — no stress). Sometimes travel to see the equipment in action (aka field trips for grown-ups).

Requirements

• Experience working on cars, heavy equipment, aircraft, tanks, forklifts — anything that moves or makes noise.
• Ability to explain how and why something works (bonus if you’ve done this while covered in grease).
• Curiosity, attention to detail, and the willingness to learn how to write professionally.
• No writing experience needed — just solid tech knowledge and the ability to think logically.
• Need to lift up to 50 lbs once in a while
