Overview

EMBS Engineering Ltd is working in partnership with a precision manufacturing business in Warwickshire that is currently in the market for a Technical Author / Method Engineer.

What's in it for you?

Competitive salary, dependent on experience

Hours: Days

Ownership of an established, well-regarded documentation standard
Direct, hands-on exposure across the shop floor
Scope to shape how the department documents its processes going forward

Your responsibilities will include:

As Technical Author / Method Engineer, you will author and own the site's documentation standard, working closely with production teams to capture process detail accurately.

Author, maintain and own Standard Work Instructions (SWIs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and data cards, as the originator of the content rather than only a reviewer
Work directly on the shop floor with operators, technicians and engineers, taking photographs and capturing process steps first-hand
Write instructions with genuine operator engagement in mind, so documents are followed in practice and not just on paper
Take documentation through formal approval loops for release into production and the Quality Management System (QMS)
Act as the overall reviewer and acceptor of documents produced across the department
Focus the bulk of your work on press and weld processes

Successful applicants must be able to demonstrate:

Demonstrated experience authoring (not just reviewing or approving) technical manufacturing documentation, with strong depth of knowledge rather than requiring close supervision
Experience taking documentation through formal QMS approval and release processes
Strong understanding of how to write instructions that secure genuine operator buy-in, not just formal compliance
Experience across press and/or weld manufacturing processes
Comfortable working at pace across a high volume of documentation
Aerospace industry background preferred, though strong comparable manufacturing backgrounds will also be considered
