Technical Editor Jobs in Raleigh, NC

A Technical Editor plays a crucial role in the publishing industry by ensuring the accuracy, clarity, and coherence of technical documentation. They are responsible for reviewing, proofreading, and editing technical materials such as user manuals, product descriptions, and research papers, while ensuring that the content is free of errors and easy to understand. They work closely with technical writers and other professionals to ensure that the technical jargon is appropriately conveyed to the target audience. They also develop and maintain style guides for consistency across all publications.

Important skills for a Technical Editor include excellent writing and proofreading skills, a keen eye for detail, strong understanding of technical concepts, and good project management abilities. They should have proficiency in editing software and be familiar with different style guides such as APA, MLA, and Chicago Manual of Style. A bachelor's degree in English, Communications, or a related field is often required, and certifications like the Certified Professional Technical Communicator (CPTC) may be beneficial. Before becoming a Technical Editor, a person might have roles such as Technical Writer, Copy Editor, or Content Specialist.
