Position: Technical Author

Reporting To: Engineering Manager

About iXtract Ltd

At iXtract Ltd, we specialise in the design, manufacture, and delivery of high-performance dust and fume extraction systems. Our solutions keep industrial environments safe, compliant and efficient. We are looking for a skilled Technical Author to bridge the gap between complex engineering concepts and clear, accessible documentation for our clients installation engineers and compliance bodies.

Role Overview

Working closely with our internal Engineering and Product Design teams, the Technical Author will take full ownership of creating, developing, maintaining and updating all technical documentation across our entire range of dust and fume extraction equipment.

You will translate complex technical specifications, mechanical designs, and regulatory safety frameworks into clear, precise user manuals, technical files, maintenance guides, and compliance documentation.

Key Responsibilities

1. Content Development & Technical Writing

Write, review, and maintain high-quality technical documentation, including:
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals
Technical Files & Data Sheets
System Commissioning Guides & Test Procedures
Troubleshooting and Safety Guides
Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and design engineers to gather accurate product data, specifications, and CAD drawings.
Translate complex engineering concepts into clear, concise, and structured English for varied technical levels (from operators to qualified engineers).

2. Compliance & Regulatory Standards

Ensure all technical literature aligns strictly with relevant UK, EU, and international health and safety standards.
Author and maintain technical files required for UKCA and CE marking compliance.
Work alongside safety specialists to ensure proper documentation of ATEX / DSEAR compliance (where applicable to dust/fume environments), Machinery Directives, and COSHH recommendations (e.g., HSG258 guidelines).
Keep documentation updated in line with evolving legislation, machinery safety standards, and manufacturing updates.

3. Information Architecture & Maintenance

Establish and maintain a standardised documentation control system (version control, templates, and style guidelines).
Conduct regular reviews of existing product documentation to ensure accuracy, safety warnings, and component specifications are kept up to date.
Incorporate visual aids (exploded diagrams, schematics, photos, and vector graphics) to complement text and enhance usability.

Required Experience & Qualifications

Essential

Engineering Background: HNC/HND, Degree, or equivalent practical background in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering.
Technical Writing Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience writing technical documentation within an industrial , or manufacturing sector.
Regulatory Knowledge: Solid working knowledge of UKCA and CE marking processes, Machinery Directives, and relevant UK Health & Safety regulations.

Desirable

Prior experience with dust and fume extraction equipment, LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) systems, or industrial air filtration technology.
Knowledge of COSHH (HSG258) guidance, ATEX/ directives for explosive dusts/gases, and pressure vessel regulations.
Familiarity with structured authoring (DITA / XML) and Component Content Management Systems (CCMS).

Key Personal Attributes

Meticulous Attention to Detail: High standard of accuracy regarding engineering terminology, safety notes, and compliance details.
Proactive Communicator: Comfortable approaching engineers, shop floor technicians, and compliance managers to dig out necessary facts.
Self-Motivated: Able to manage multiple document projects simultaneously and meet tight release timelines alongside production schedules.
Clarity-Driven: A passion for turning complex technical jargon into structured, easy-to-follow content.

What We Offer

Very competitive salary, dependent on experience
