About the role
About Us
We are a Singapore-based engineering company developing our first industry-facing book on cooling towers.
The content is already developed internally. We are now looking for an experienced technical editor/writer to refine, elevate, and strengthen the credibility of the manuscript.
Your Role
Your role is to transform our existing material into a clear, authoritative, and compelling publication that resonates with:
- M&E consultants
- Design engineers
- Asset owners and decision-makers
This book will be used as a strategic tool to build trust and influence specification decisions—so the tone must be technically sound, professional, and convincing.
Scope of Work
- Review and refine existing manuscript (no need to write from scratch)
- Improve:
- Grammar, sentence structure, and clarity
- Technical accuracy and terminology
- Flow and logical structure
- Elevate the writing to:
- Sound more credible and authoritative
- Be compelling and engaging, not just technical
- Ensure content is:
- Easy to understand for non-experts
- Still technically accurate for engineers
- Strengthen key sections to:
- Build trust
- Highlight value and differentiation
- Collaborate with our team for clarifications when needed
Ideal Candidate
- Background in Mechanical Engineering / HVAC / Thermal Systems
- Strong experience in technical editing or engineering writing
- Familiarity with:
- Cooling towers (highly preferred)
- HVAC or industrial systems
- Excellent command of professional English writing
- Ability to:
- Turn technical content into clear, structured, and persuasive material
- Balance technical depth with readability
What We Are Looking For
We are not just looking for grammar correction. We need someone who can make the content:
- More credible → sounds like a trusted industry reference
- More refined → clean, structured, professional
- More compelling → engages and influences decision-makers
Deliverables
- Edited and refined manuscript (track changes preferred)
- Suggestions to improve tone, clarity, and structure
- Optional: Comments on sections that need strengthening.
