Full Job Description

Job Overview:

At The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, we’re not just delivering water — we’re sustaining life for over 19 million people. Behind every drop is a team of talented employees: innovators, problem-solvers, and connectors who make it all possible.

This recruitment will be used to build an Eligibility List. This list will be valid for 6 months from the date a candidate accepts the position. We currently have an opening for a Technical Writer II at Headquarters (Los Angeles).

We’re looking for a Technical Writer II who is passionate about clarity and dedicated to bridging the gap between complex information and actionable content. A good match is someone who thrives on distilling intricate processes into elegant documentation, takes pride in technical precision, and finds satisfaction in empowering others through knowledge. If you are an enthusiastic editor and a skillful writer, this is your opportunity to make an impact by ensuring our vital operations are documented with excellence.

What You’ll Do

Drive Documentation Strategy: Lead documentation planning by analyzing customer needs, coordinating project timelines, and managing schedules to ensure mission-critical information is delivered on time.
Investigate and Synthesize: Conduct in-depth research and interviews with subject matter experts to capture complex processes and technical information and translate them into clear, actionable content.
Produce High-Impact Content: Develop a wide range of materials including operating policies, field and administrative manuals, technical reports, and instructional procedures and guides, ensuring everything meets rigorous regulatory and internal standards.
Visualize Data: Create and edit flowcharts, photos, and diagrams, including technical schematics with guidance from subject matter experts to enhance document comprehension.
Ensure Precision and Accessibility: Perform meticulous document reviews for grammar and formatting, while managing the testing and publication of online resources.
Collaborate Across Teams: Serve as a key contributor on project teams, applying technical expertise to cross-functional initiatives that support Metropolitan operations.

What We’re Looking For

An Experienced and Detail-Oriented Writer: You possess a strong command of English composition, grammatical structures, and the core theories of technical communication. You also have a proven track record in policy and manual development, ensuring consistency and accuracy across all organizational documentation.
A Technologically Adept Creator: You are highly proficient in advanced word processing and diagramming software, with the ability to interpret and edit engineering drawings and schematics with guidance from subject matter experts.
An Adaptable Team Player: You thrive in an environment that requires managing multiple priorities, collaborating across departments, and utilizing modern office technology to streamline workflows.

Schedule: 44/36, Monday through Friday with every other Friday off Monday through Thursday 9 hours per day, 8 hours per day every other Friday. Start times are no earlier than 6 am and end times are no later than 6 pm.

Hybrid: Metropolitan’s current practice in this position is a hybrid work schedule. This typically includes two days a week in person and the other days remote. This is subject to change dependent on organizational needs. In addition, a telework policy is scheduled for negotiations and once completed and implemented, will provide final direction on the hybrid schedule.

This job announcement has been designed to indicate the general nature and level of work being performed by employees in this classification / job.
