TECHNICAL WRITER – RELIABILITY & MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

Location: Buffalo Grove, IL
Hire Type: Contract (6–8 Months+, Potential Extension)
Work Schedule: Full-Time, 100% Onsite
Compensation: $40–$45/hr

OVERVIEW

We are seeking a Technical Writer to support a Reliability Engineering team within a manufacturing environment. This individual will be responsible for developing, updating, and maintaining technical documentation, work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and maintenance-related documentation that supports manufacturing and reliability operations.

The ideal candidate will have experience working in a manufacturing environment and be comfortable collaborating directly with subject matter experts across Reliability, Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Maintenance teams. While reference materials and existing documentation will be available, this position requires someone capable of independently gathering information, developing new procedures, and creating clear, accurate technical documentation from the ground up.

Experience supporting medical device, pharmaceutical, or other regulated manufacturing environments is highly preferred but not required.

Experience developing work instructions, SOPs, and technical procedures
Ability to gather information from subject matter experts and translate it into clear documentation

Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite

JOB DUTIES

Create work instructions, procedures, SOPs, and maintenance documentation for production and engineering teams
Collaborate with Reliability, Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Maintenance personnel to gather technical information and ensure documentation accuracy
Review existing documentation and update content to reflect current processes, equipment, and best practices
Independently develop new procedures and documentation where no prior documentation exists
Incorporate technical drawings, diagrams, equipment information, and visual aids into documentation packages
Ensure documents are organized, user-friendly, and aligned with internal documentation standards
Support continuous improvement efforts through documentation updates and process standardization
Manage document revisions and maintain version control throughout the project lifecycle

QUALIFICATIONS

Associate's or Bachelor's degree preferred; equivalent experience will be considered
3+ years of technical writing experience supporting manufacturing, engineering, maintenance, reliability, or quality functions
Experience working directly with technical subject matter experts
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and industrial equipment environments
Experience creating documentation from both existing reference materials and independently gathered information
Medical device, pharmaceutical, or regulated manufacturing experience is a plus
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
Excellent written and verbal communication skills

PREFERRED BACKGROUND

Manufacturing Engineering
Reliability Engineering
Maintenance Engineering
Medical Device Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Industrial Manufacturing Operations
Technical Documentation and Procedure Development

Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or genetic information.
