Castle Donington, United Kingdom LK Metrology Ltd Full time

**Why Join LK?**

When we ask our employees what keeps them here working for us, the most common response is the flexibility and trust that we offer them. We understand that you have a life that exists outside of work and our approach to this will be apparent when you speak with our people.

We are always looking to hire new people with fresh ideas and perspectives because as the world changes, we need to change with it. On top of this we are also proud to say that we have many employees who have worked for us for 20+ years, meaning that we have some of the best Metrology talent right here on our doorstep

At LK you will be given the autonomy to get the job done how you see fit, providing you achieve the right result. As a small company there will be lots of variety in your role too, so you will never be bored.

If we sound like a company you would like to work for and you believe that you have the skills we need, we’d love to hear from you.

**What you’ll be doing**:
As a Technical Author, you will:

- Be the focal point for LK Metrology for the creation and maintenance of all documentation and manuals for the current range of LK Metrology products, for example: CMM data and sales sheets, user manuals, safety guides, service manuals, and technical bulletins

- Provide language localised documentation as agreed in specific projects
- Maintenance of Bills of Material
- Create and maintain CE certificates and machine specifications
- Manage the user access of engineering support documents

**Location**:
Our product is large and heavy and cannot be taken home, so most of our product facing roles require you to be on site 5 days per week. For employees who are based in the office who are not product facing, we offer them the opportunity to work from home on Fridays.

**About you**:
At LK, we look to employ people who will do their best to put the needs of the company first when they are at work, treating our company as though it is their own. With every employee sharing this mindset we will succeed, and we can then share our success with our employees. With this in mind, whilst your skills, knowledge and experience are all important, we believe that your personality and attitude are just as important.
- Knowledge of technical writing/creating technical documentation within an engineering/manufacturing environment
- Knowledge of the maintenance of a documentation system
- Strong understanding of technology and software products
- IT literate and proficient in the use of Microsoft Office Products
- Self-motivated with the ability to prioritise and work to deadlines
- Excellent attention to detail

The following would also be an advantage:

- Understanding of international legislation on required product documentation
- Ability to use documentation tools including MadCap Flare, Catalyst, Microsoft SharePoint and help servers
- An engineering degree

**Benefits**:
In return for your hard work, we will always try our best to offer you a flexible, fun, and enjoyable working environment. We will also offer you:

- 6% company pension contribution
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays + opportunity to purchase additional 5 days each year + additional service days
