Working with document management and content management systems.
Collaborating with engineers, project teams, support staff and customers to resolve technical queries.
Supporting documentation projects through planning, development, review and delivery stages.
Contributing to continuous improvement activities within the Technical Publications team.

Knowledge of engineering drawings, CAD models or Bills of Material.
Exposure to document management, content management or product lifecycle management systems.
Experience working with XML-based authoring tools or technical publishing software.
Understanding of product support, maintenance or Integrated Logistics Support activities.

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role?

Enjoy learning how complex products and systems work.
Be naturally curious and willing to ask questions.
Take ownership of tasks and see them through to completion.
Communicate technical information clearly to different audiences.
