Technical Documentation Consultant
6-month contract | Oxfordshire hybrid
Skills Required
Hardware, Software, Firmware, API, AI & Data Documentation
Are you a technical documentation specialist who enjoys bringing clarity to complex products?
Do you have a strong grasp of hardware, software, firmware, APIs, AI or data-led technologies?
Would you like to take ownership of a documentation estate, improve structure, consistency and usability, and leave things in brilliant shape for a growing technology business?
Our client is a growing organisation with a technical product environment spanning hardware, software, firmware, API development, AI and data. Due to continued growth, their documentation has fallen behind the pace of innovation, and they are now looking for a Technical Documentation Consultant to help bring everything back up to standard over an initial 6-month contract.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who can quickly understand technical concepts, work closely with engineering and product teams, and turn complex information into clear, accurate and user-friendly documentation.
Why This Role is Great
This contract gives you the chance to make a visible, practical impact across a fast-moving technical environment. You will have the opportunity to:
- Take ownership of reviewing and improving existing technical documentation across hardware, software, firmware and API-related areas.
- Bring structure, consistency and quality to documentation that has grown organically during a period of business expansion.
- Work with technical stakeholders to capture missing information, clarify details and ensure documentation is accurate and easy to use.
- Create, update and refine documentation for technical users, internal teams and potentially external audiences.
- Help shape best-practice documentation standards that will support the business beyond the initial contract.
- Build an understanding of connected technology, with IoT or telecoms-related exposure being particularly useful.

About You
You will enjoy working at the intersection of technology, communication and structure. You will be confident asking the right questions, translating technical detail into plain English, and helping teams improve how knowledge is captured and shared.
Our client would be particularly interested in speaking with people who bring some of the following:
- Strong experience in technical writing, technical documentation or documentation consultancy.
- Excellent written English, with the ability to produce clear, precise and well-structured content.
- A good understanding of hardware, software and firmware environments.
- Experience documenting APIs, developer tools, technical platforms or complex products.
- The ability to work with engineers, developers, product specialists and other technical stakeholders.
- An organised, self-sufficient approach, with the confidence to assess what needs improving and get stuck in.
- Any exposure to IoT, telecoms, connected devices, AI or data-led technologies would be a bonus, but transferable technical documentation experience is very welcome.
