Full Job Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our client is a globally recognised engineering and project delivery organisation is seeking an experienced Technical Writer to join its Project Management Systems team on a major capital program.

This is not a standard documentation role. You will be working at the intersection of governance, process design, and communication – translating complex project management frameworks into clear, accessible, and adoptable standards, procedures, and guidelines that project teams actually use.

You will work closely with project managers, engineers, and functional leads to understand how work gets done, then write the procedures, frameworks, and decision tools that make it happen consistently. Your output will shape how projects are planned, governed, and delivered across a global portfolio.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Authoring, reviewing, and improving project management standards, operating procedures, guidelines, templates, and user guides
Mapping current-state processes and developing clear procedural documentation to embed improved ways of working
Applying structured design principles to ensure procedures are complete, internally consistent, and aligned across project lifecycle phases
Embedding assurance milestones, governance checkpoints, and decision-making frameworks into documented standards
Designing supporting flowcharts, checklists, and visual aids to ensure usability and drive adoption
Coordinating with project managers, engineers, and functional leads to validate content accuracy and stakeholder relevance
Managing document control and compliance with document management standards across a major program
Supporting workshop facilitation and stakeholder engagement to gather input and refine outputs

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Essential

Demonstrated experience in technical writing within project delivery, EPCM, engineering, government, or defence environments
Proven ability to produce standards, procedures, and governance frameworks – not just reports or communications
Strong understanding of project lifecycle phases, phase-gate models, and project management principles (PRINCE2, PMI/PMP, or equivalent)
Experience reviewing and mapping business or project processes, identifying gaps, and translating findings into clear written documentation
Exceptional written English – precise, structured, and accessible across technical and non-technical audiences
Advanced proficiency in MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; experience with equivalent PPM tools

Highly Regarded

Experience with digital transformation, PPM platform implementation, or portfolio management systems
Familiarity with Perago CCMS systems (solution design, administration, or certified user)
Experience facilitating workshops and engaging senior stakeholders to align on governance and delivery frameworks

ABOUT YOU

You think in systems. You understand that a procedure is only as good as its adoption – so you write with the reader in mind, not just the subject matter expert. You bring discipline and precision to everything you produce, and you know how to navigate complex organisations to get the inputs you need.

You are equally comfortable sitting with a project manager to unpack how a process actually works and presenting a governance framework to an executive audience. You take quality seriously, you manage your own work without being micromanaged, and you treat document integrity as non-negotiable.

WHY THIS ROLE

Work on a high-profile, globally significant capital program
Shape PM systems and governance frameworks used across a major portfolio
Genuine opportunity to make a lasting impact on how projects are planned and delivered
Perth/Sydney/Brisbane/Melbourne based, initial 6 months contract role engagement with possible extension
Work with a collaborative and experienced team

HOW TO APPLY

Applicants must have full working rights in Australia. Please submit your CV, expected hourly rate and a brief cover note explaining your experience with technical writing in project or governance environments.

Applications are managed by Avanti Consultants. For confidential enquiries, contact us at [email protected]

Pay: From $85.00 per hour
