• Assist in maintaining internal and external digital content libraries

• Provide editorial support as needed in the absence of the Editorial Manager

• Build strong working relationships with subject matter experts and internal teams

• Contribute to a collaborative editorial environment, ensuring high-quality outputs

Who You Are:

• Bachelor's degree in English, Communications, or a related field

• Professional experience in editing and copywriting - ideally freelance 

• Proven ability to work with and edit to a style guide

• Experience within the engineering/energy sectors highly regarded but not essential
