We are looking for a contract Technical Writer to reshape the documentation for a message switching service: a platform that provides critical support for the exchange and dissemination of meteorological data across internal systems. The current documentation was written by scientists for scientists. Your job is to make it clear, simple and usable for everyone who relies on the service.
What you will do
- Run an initial discovery phase, reviewing the existing documentation end to end
- Speak with stakeholders and users to understand how they use the service and where the documentation lets them down
- Define the approach, structure and standards for the new documentation
- Rewrite and produce the new documentation in plain, accessible language
- Work closely with technical and scientific subject matter experts to keep content accurate while simplifying it
- Set the documentation up so it is easy to maintain after your engagement

Why this project
This is a well-scoped, self-contained engagement with a clear outcome: documentation that people can actually use for a service that underpins the flow of critical meteorological data. You will own the work from discovery through to delivery and leave behind something that makes a real difference to how the service is used day to day.
