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.
