Mechanical Specialist (Troubleshooting Tech Writer II)

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSalary: 43K-54K

Now Hiring: Technical Writer II


YOU DO NOT NEED WRITING EXPERIENCE - We are looking for mechanics that don't want a hands on wrenching job, we are looking for someone who wants to use that knowledge in an AC/Heated environment using the skills to work with the DoD!


Ever been the person everyone goes to when something breaks because you just get how machines work? Great news you dont need a fancy writing degree or years of experience. If you know your way around engines, gear, or diagnostics, well teach you how to write the manuals.


Were looking for someone with solid mechanical or automotive know-how whos ready to trade the wrench (part-time) for the keyboard. Youll help us create clear, accurate manuals that dont require a PhD to understand.


What you'll actually do (besides looking smart):

Learn how to turn complex equipment knowledge into technical manuals people can actually use.

Work with engineers, techs, and fellow writers to get the info straight from the source.

Use diagnostic tools, schematics, and your brain to figure things out (then write it down clearly).

Work with tools like Microsoft Word, XML editors, and other fun software (well train you no stress).

Sometimes travel to see the equipment in action (aka field trips for grown-ups).



What were looking for:

Experience working on cars, heavy equipment, aircraft, tanks, forklifts anything that moves or makes noise.

Ability to explain how and why something works (bonus if youve done this while covered in grease).

Curiosity, attention to detail, and the willingness to learn how to write professionally.

No writing experience needed just solid tech knowledge and the ability to think logically.

Bonus points if youve worked with military tech or diagnostic software.



What to expect:

Some hands-on time with equipment.

A mix of desk work and real-world troubleshooting.

Occasional travel (no, not glamorous, but still kinda cool).

Need to lift up to 50 lbs once in a while manuals dont write themselves, and neither do tools.



At ONeil & Associates, were not just looking for writers were looking for problem-solvers. People who know their stuff, ask good questions, and want to build something useful. Well help you level up your skills all you need to do is bring the experience and a good attitude.


Sound like your kind of gig? Apply now and yes, well actually read your resume.
