Role Overview
We are looking for a skilled Technical Author to join a team responsible for producing and maintaining aircraft maintenance documentation—specifically the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) and Troubleshooting Manual (TSM)—used by airline operators worldwide.
This role plays a critical part in ensuring aircraft safety, maintainability, and operational efficiency throughout the aircraft lifecycle. You’ll work closely with engineering teams, customers, and subcontractors to deliver high-quality, compliant documentation.
Key Responsibilities
* Author and update AMM and TSM content for Landing Gear systems (ATA 32).
* Analyse engineering inputs (e.g. drawings, design changes) to assess impact on documentation.
* Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA).
* Respond to customer queries via a dedicated technical request tool, ensuring timely and accurate support.
* Lead review meetings with design teams and subcontractors, managing workload and priorities.
* Monitor subcontracted authoring activities and ensure delivery to time, cost, and quality targets.
* Support Aircraft On Ground (AOG) situations with proactive documentation updates.
* Contribute to digital initiatives and continuous improvement of authoring tools and processes.
* Represent the team in cross-functional meetings and customer interface roles.
Candidate Profile
We’re seeking someone with:
* Experience in aerospace engineering or aircraft maintenance.
* Strong understanding of aircraft systems and maintenance procedures.
* Familiarity with international authoring standards and tools.
* Aircraft configuration management knowledge.
* A proactive, positive mindset with strong communication and organisational skills.
* Ability to manage risks, follow up activities, and drive continuous improvement.
Hands-on aircraft experience (e.g. military or commercial aviation background) is highly desirable, but we also welcome applications from experienced technical writers with strong documentation skills.
Why This Role?
* Be part of a team supporting a global fleet of aircraft.
* Work on documentation that directly impacts aircraft safety and performance.
* Enjoy flexible working hours and a collaborative environment.
* Opportunity to contribute to future digital services and innovation.
