Virtual Technical Writer Jobs in Houston, TX (NOW HIRING)

Technical Writer (Oil and Gas) – Field Training & Competency (Mostly Remote)

Clarity is seeking an experienced Technical Writer with a strong training and operations background to develop field-based training for unconventional well operators and mechanics. This role focuses on creating clear, accurate, and instructionally sound materials that support both trainers and technicians in field environments. Ideal candidates bring hands-on operational experience combined with the ability to think, write, and communicate like a learning professional.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with SMEs and trainers to gather, validate, and refine technical content
• Capture operational knowledge from SMEs and field personnel when documentation is limited and structure it into usable training content
• Apply adult learning and instructional design principles to support knowledge transfer, skill development, and safe field performance
• Develop performance verification criteria that define observable actions and knowledge required to confirm task competency in the field
• Develop trainer notes, job aids, checklists, diagrams, and troubleshooting guidance aligned to real field conditions

Experience Required

• Background developing training or technical documentation for upstream oil and gas operations
• Familiarity with production operations, field equipment, facilities, or maintenance activities
• Development of training materials used in field-based or instructor-led training environments
• Ability to interpret technical documentation and operational procedures and translate them into effective training content
• Experience working directly with SMEs and field-based teams to gather and validate technical information
• Strong writing, organization, and attention to detail
• Clear communication and ability to collaborate effectively with SMEs and stakeholders

What We’re Looking For

• A writer who is comfortable asking questions, facilitating SME discussions, and developing training content from field expertise rather than relying solely on existing documentation
• Someone who understands field operations and can translate operational work into practical training materials
• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with SMEs, trainers, and project stakeholders
• A structured writer who can organize complex operational information into clear instructional materials

Start Date: ASAP

Duration: 6 months with possible extensions
