We are seeking an experienced Technical Author to lead our friendly Technical Publications team on a full-time, permanent basis.

In this role, you will be responsible for the following areas:

  • Producing and maintaining professional technical publications for the development project teams. You will play an active role in specific projects as a hands-on technical author and reviewer.
  • Working closely with our agile software and hardware teams, and system engineers. Tait's communications solutions can be complex, so curiosity and a passion for technical learning are essential. We will provide appropriate training on our products and technologies, and the different users we support. In time, we expect you to become a product expert in your own right.
  • Defining technical authoring tools, processes and methodologies, as required.
  • Overseeing the creation and maintenance of training materials, such as slides, narration scripts, and digital content based on the user documentation produced by the Technical Authors.
  • Recruiting, training, mentoring and developing Technical Authors in the Technical Publications team.

We use FrameMaker for authoring and MadCap Flare to build our Help files (experience with conditional text in FrameMaker is desirable). You must have a high degree of discipline for handling large deliverables. The team's processes are well documented, and support is always on hand should you need it.
