£45,000-£50,000 Fully Negotiable + Benefits + Career Role Purpose We are seeking an experienced Technical Author to develop and maintain high-quality technical documentation that supports the installation, testing, operation and maintenance of electrical systems aboard Royal Navy, Royal Fleet Auxiliary and other marine vessels.
The successful candidate will translate complex engineering information into clear, accurate and practical documentation that enables shipyard personnel, electrical fitters, commissioning engineers and end users to safely install and operate equipment in accordance with customer, quality and regulatory requirements.
A military background, ideally Royal Navy or Royal Fleet Auxiliary, is highly desirable (but not essential) due to the operational environment and the need to understand naval vessel systems, terminology and installation practices.
Candidate Benefits Summary This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in supporting some of the UKs most important naval and marine engineering projects.
Working alongside experienced engineers, project managers and installation teams, you will help translate complex electrical designs into practical documentation that enables successful installation and commissioning on board Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels.
The role offers a unique blend of engineering, problem-solving and stakeholder engagement, providing exposure to varied marine projects while allowing you to utilise your operational and technical experience.
For candidates from a Royal Navy, RFA or defence-sector background, this is an excellent opportunity to apply your knowledge in a civilian engineering environment while remaining close to the naval industry.
With a competitive salary of £45,000£50,000, development opportunities and a collaborative team environment, the role provides both challenge and long-term career stability within a growing defence-focused business.
Key Responsibilities Produce installation, operation and maintenance manuals for marine electrical systems.
Develop work instructions, installation procedures and technical specifications.
Create ship and submarine electrical installation guides from engineering drawings, schematics and design packages.
Produce commissioning, testing and inspection procedures.
Generate technical data packs for customer approval and platform integration.
Review engineering change requests and update documentation accordingly.
Work closely with design engineers, project managers and production teams to ensure documentation accurately reflects the latest designs.
Ensure documentation complies with customer, defence and quality management requirements.
Support configuration control of controlled documents and technical records.
Participate in design reviews, production readiness reviews and customer meetings where documentation support is required.
Capture lessons learned from installation teams and incorporate improvements into future documentation.
