We have an outstanding Contract position for a Manufacturing Technical Writer to join a leading Company located in the Garden City, NY surrounding area.
Pay Rate: $30.00 - $35.00
We are seeking a Temporary Manufacturing Technical Writer to support the development and improvement of manufacturing documentation. This is a hands-on, documentation-focused role for someone who can observe how products or components are built and translate that knowledge into clear, accurate, and easy-to-follow work instructions.
The ideal candidate does not need to be an engineer or scientist but should be technically inclined, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a manufacturing environment. This individual will partner with engineers, operators, and other subject-matter experts to understand manufacturing and assembly processes and document them using concise written instructions, photographs, diagrams, screenshots, and other visuals.
Job Responsibilities:
- Develop, revise, and maintain manufacturing work instructions, assembly instructions, and process documentation.
- Observe manufacturing and assembly operations firsthand to understand how work is performed.
- Collaborate with engineers, operators, technicians, and subject-matter experts to capture accurate process details.
- Translate technical or shop-floor processes into clear, logical, step-by-step instructions that can be easily followed.
- Take and incorporate photographs, diagrams, screenshots, and other visual aids to improve document clarity.
- Review existing documentation and identify opportunities to improve organization, readability, consistency, and usability.
- Standardize document formatting and terminology across work instructions.
- Update documentation as manufacturing processes, equipment, or procedures are revised.
- Review completed documentation for accuracy, clarity, completeness, and consistency.
- Manage multiple documentation assignments and revisions while maintaining close attention to detail.
Basic Hiring Criteria:
- Previous technical writing, manufacturing documentation, work-instruction, or process-documentation experience preferred.
- Strong written communication, proofreading, and organizational skills.
- Ability to understand mechanical or manufacturing processes and explain them using straightforward language.
- Comfortable spending time on the manufacturing floor observing processes and gathering information.
- Ability to work collaboratively with employees across technical and operational functions.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Word, including document formatting and working with photographs and other visual elements.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to organize technical information logically.
- Manufacturing, assembly, machining, welding, fabrication, or other hands-on technical experience is a plus.
This position requires access to technologies and hardware subject to US national security-based export control requirements. All applicants must be US Persons (8 USC 1324b(a)(3)), or otherwise authorized by the U.S. Government. No company sponsorship will be offered.
Benefits offered vary by contract.
