The Technical Writer will be responsible for researching, writing, and editing a wide range of technical and communications products, from one-page fact sheets to complex research reports exceeding 500 pages. This role serves as a bridge between subject matter experts and diverse audiences, translating complex engineering and research concepts into clear, accurate, and accessible content that meets federal publishing standards.
The Technical Writer role requires a self-starter, proactive problem solver and action-oriented team player with previous experience in technical writing, editing, and publication support within a fast-paced government or research communications environment. This position needs an individual that is committed to providing superior service, poised under pressure and has a positive and flexible attitude.
This is a contingent hire position. Offers will be contingent upon client approval, ability to meet security requirements, and the ability to adhere to any on-site requirements (which may change at contract award).

  • Collaborate with engineers, researchers, and subject matter experts to translate complex technical and engineering concepts into clear, accurate narratives for both technical and general audiences.
  • Provide substantive editing, copyediting, and proofreading across all stages of production, correcting grammar, spelling, style, punctuation, and logical flow.
  • Verify technical accuracy through interviews, research, and fact-checking, ensuring tables, schematics, and figures are seamlessly integrated with the narrative text.
  • Ensure all content conforms to the GPO Style Manual, the Chicago Manual of Style, and the TFHRC RD&T Communication Reference Guide.
  • Maintain compliance with Section 508 accessibility requirements and manage copyright permissions and attributions for all written materials.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of assigned documents and articles, from outline and interviews through multiple review cycles to final publication, while maintaining version control.
  • Coordinate review and approval of written materials with designated FHWA contacts and, when necessary, external stakeholders.

Minimum Qualifications
  • 5-10 years of professional experience in technical writing, editing, and publishing.
  • Bachelor's degree in Technical Writing, English, Communications, Journalism, or a related scientific/technical field.
  • Demonstrated expertise applying the GPO Style Manual and Chicago Manual of Style, and ensuring Section 508 accessibility compliance.
  • Experience in the transportation sector, particularly highway or surface transportation research, is highly preferred.
  • Strategic thinker with a forward-looking approach to marketing trends and technologies.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically.
  • Ability to manage competing deadlines.
  • Experience supporting complex projects and transformation efforts within the federal government.
  • Comfortability with supporting complex client relationships.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a public trust clearance.
  • Legal authorization to work in the U.S.

Desired Qualifications
  • Strong critical thinking, analytical, and time management skills.
  • Proven ability to organize, prioritize, and work well with others.
  • Ability to communicate thoughts, ideas, and solutions logically both written and orally.
  • Ability to stay calm under pressure and in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to receive feedback from clients and implement changes quickly and effectively.
  • Ability to get up to speed quickly on complex issues.
