You don't really need a writer for that
An Engineering company in [redacted] is seeking a Technical Writing / Word Processor to provide support to the Technical Writing Department. Primary responsibilities for this role will include: Assembly, proofreading, and editing of technical reports and creating graphs from Excel spreadsheet data. This is a temporary-to-hire position that requires an individual with a positive attitude and strong work ethic, someone who is team-oriented and has an expert knowledge of MS Word and Excel. Requirements * Minimum of two years experience as a Technical Writer * Detail orientation, experience proofreading and editing technical documents and familiarity of Engineering terminology * Expert level MS Word skills and intermediate MS Excel proficiency * Ability to prioritize and manage work flow * Excellent verbal and writing communication skills and the ability to provide strong customer service to internal and external clients
This is an entry-level position. If you have an expert knowledge of Word and Excel, you are probably doing some other kind of temp job. If you are a writer, the prospect of never getting to write a word is dismaying. Also, if you are creating graphs from spreadsheet data, I almost guarantee you are working for more than one boss/executive, which is why you need the "ability to prioritize and manage work flow". You are going to have many masters, and you are not going to have any help sorting out who matters most.
On the other hand, I applaud the technical writers who have talked someone into letting them hire support staff to do all the tedious unrewarding parts of their jobs. I should have such a deal.
At least this job ad doesn't hide what the job is. You can see right up front what it would be like. It's not an accidental wave-off, it's good information, so points for that.
