Technical Editor

Tetra Tech is adding a Technical Editor to our Federal Master Planning team.

Tetra Tech is seeking an experienced editor with honed technical editing skills to join the multidisciplinary Federal Master Planning Team. The editor will assist the federal planning editor, project managers, and others with editing, production, and quality control of deliverables for projects with the Department of Defense and other clients.

• Collaborate on developing and enforce contract- and project-specific editorial style guides to ensure consistency in the process followed and language and terminology used in preparing deliverables.
• Create and use fully functional templates in a variety of software, including Microsoft Office (mainly Word) and Adobe InDesign.
• Collaborate with fellow team members on process flow and editing/layout best practices, and contribute to project discussions.
• Balance multiple project deadlines and needs simultaneously. Must be adaptable and receptive to shifting priorities.
