Technical Author / Documentation Manager
Brierley Hill
£
Are you the person who makes complex things clear?
Our client is a global engineering business that designs and manufactures sophisticated products - intricate electromechanical assemblies, precision engineering components, the kind of hardware that genuinely improves people's lives. And they need someone brilliant to make sure the world understands how to use, service, and maintain them.
This is a newly energised leadership role at the heart of their global R&D Engineering function. You'll take ownership of everything their customers and service teams rely on such as owner's manuals, spare parts catalogues, service instructions, and product literature and then push the whole operation forward into the digital age.
The Role
You'll lead a growing team of technical documentation professionals (currently 4, spread across global locations) and set the strategic direction for how they create, manage, and deliver technical content worldwide. That means moving from traditional print models to modern multi-channel delivery: online platforms, interactive tools, dynamic digital formats while keeping everything accurate, compliant, and usable.
You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with R&D, Product Management, Regulatory, and IT, championing structured authoring, CMS adoption, and reusable content approaches that scale. You'll own the documentation KPIs, the vendor and translation partner relationships, and the culture of continuous improvement within your team.
What You Bring
Why This Role?
Because it's genuinely strategic. You won't be maintaining the status quo you'll be reshaping how a global engineering business communicates with the world. There's a real team to lead, a real transformation to drive, and a business that's ready to invest in doing this properly.
If you're ready to own it, we'd love to hear from you - send CV to Gary Simpson.
Salary - up to £52k plus extensive benefits
