We are seeking to fill a Workshop Manual Technical Author role.

You will join a friendly and innovative team working with a global automotive manufacturer to deliver technical
publications, including user guides, owner manuals, service and repair methods, workshop manuals, illustrated
parts catalogues and dealer documentation.

This opportunity is perfect for an enthusiastic, passionate and process driven Graduate Engineer (or individuals
with other similar learning credentials) with good IT skills and first-hand experience of automotive workshop
repairs

What you’ll be doing:

• Analysing and documenting repair processes using CAD data and SRTD (Service Repair Time Database);
• Liaising as necessary with SST (Special Service Tool) developers, upstream service coordinators,
  automotive engineers, technicians and After Sales personnel to properly scope a given repair method;
• Time each service repair procedure using a selection of synthetic time elements;
• Using Cortona3D RapidAuthor tools with CAD data to create 3D animations to support each step of the
  procedure. These are then uploaded to the portal where they can be aligned with correct steps;
• On the rare occasions where it is not possible to generate a procedure digitally then the author may be
  required to conduct a trial on a pre-production vehicle to make sure that methods are accurate and timed
  correctly.
• Author Easy Repair Guide for the owners that would like to do the basics on the vehicle themselves.
  Your Skills and Experience
• Hands-on vehicle workshop experience is key. Workshop Manual authoring in essence involves replicating
  workshop service operations in a digital engineering environment. Having a feel for realistic work
  parameters in service operations is a must.
• Excellent communication and customer facing skills are essential. All our engineers work directly with our
  customers. A tenacious and can-do approach is imperative.
• Excellent computer skills are important and experience of working in the 3D digital environment is helpful.
  Use of CAD and CAD visualisation tools are an important part of the day-to-day role of a Workshop
  Manual Technical Author, but we do offer training in these areas.
• First class organisational and project management skills; you will need to be organised because in time
  your responsibilities will include understanding and implementing how your work will interact with a
  vehicle programme’s product development lifecycle.
• Ambition: we want you to be an active participant in a team focused on the quick development of skills
  that will enable CADIT UK to grow as a business and as a team.
