What We're Looking For
- Extensive technical writing / technical authoring experience within Aerospace & Defence
- Direct, hands-on experience with S1000D
- Strong working knowledge of SGML and XML
- Experience working in major XML authoring tools (e.g. structured editors used for technical publications)
- Strong client-facing experience and confident stakeholder engagement
- Experience working in a consulting or client-delivery environment
- Eligible for SC Clearance, with willingness to travel internationally
Desirable
- Previous experience supporting or upskilling teams on structured content standards
