Job Description & How to Apply Below
Ship systems are complicated enough before someone has to explain how they actually work.
Blumara is looking for a Marine Technician or Technologist in Halifax to help develop clear, practical operational documentation for naval platform systems. This is the bit between “the system exists” and “operators, maintainers, engineers, and decision-makers can understand how it is actually used.”
We’re looking for someone who can take technical inputs, operational experience, procedures, manuals, interviews, defect history, etc. and then turn it into structured documentation that makes sense.
The work is practical, detail-heavy, and grounded in reality. You’ll be helping describe how systems are operated, how people interact with them, what the constraints are, what happens in normal and abnormal conditions, and where the important limitations live. If you like clear writing, disciplined documents, and finding the ambiguity before it becomes a problem, this is probably your sort of work.
Duties & Responsibilities
Developing and maintaining operational documentation for marine platform systems
Gathering information from SMEs, operators, maintainers, engineers, manuals, procedures, trials material, and existing documentation
Translating messy technical and operational inputs into clear operational narratives
Describing modes of operation, operator actions, system interfaces, constraints, limitations, and abnormal conditions
Maintaining strong version control, traceability, document discipline, and quality checks
Coordinating with engineering, maintenance, and operational stakeholders to validate content and resolve gaps
Preparing briefings, summaries, and client-facing material when needed
We’re especially interested in people who have worked around real vessels, real systems, and real operators. Naval, marine engineering, maintenance, in-service support, shipbuilding, defence, or other complex technical environments are all relevant.
This is not “just technical writing.” It is where system knowledge becomes something people can actually use.
Skills & Qualifications
5+ years of experience in naval/marine platform operations, engineering, maintenance, or in-service support
A strong understanding of platform systems and the realities of operators and maintainers
Excellent technical writing skills—able to turn incomplete, inconsistent, or overly technical inputs into clear documentation
Strong document discipline, including templates, revision control, traceability, and review cycles
The ability to work on-site in Halifax
Eligibility for Canadian security screening
Strongly preferred:
Former RCN MARTECH or equivalent naval marine engineering trade experience
10+ years of relevant experience
Experience writing or maintaining operational, procedural, or system documentation in a defence, government, or highly controlled technical environment
Diploma in Marine Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related discipline

Mentorship and training support
Support toward professional registration, where applicable
