• Work with subject matter experts to gather technical information, confirm accuracy, resolve comments, and document source references.
• Write clear, concise, learner-centred content appropriate to the audience’s entry-level knowledge and assigned work.
• Develop draft questions and learning activities that align with approved objectives, with review and validation by more senior training staff.
• Check content for consistency, completeness, readability, terminology, formatting, and traceability to approved requirements.
• Incorporate review comments accurately and maintain revision histories and development records.
• Support course pilots, validation sessions, classroom material preparation, learning management system uploads, and collection of learner feedback.

• Manage assigned development tasks to agreed quality, schedule, and review milestones.

What You Bring to the Team:

• Diploma or degree in education, communications, technical writing, instructional design, engineering technology, science, skilled trades, or a related field; an equivalent combination of training and experience may be considered.

• Strong writing, editing, organization, and document-formatting skills.
• Ability to follow detailed direction, work from controlled technical sources, incorporate feedback, and meet established quality standards.
• Basic understanding of adult learning or instructional design principles; familiarity with SAT/ADDIE is an asset and may be developed on the job.
• Proficiency with common word-processing, presentation, collaboration, and digital authoring tools.
• Ability to learn nuclear terminology and work effectively with technical subject matter experts.
