Technical Data Author

Location: Newcastle One Trinity Gardens,

Salary: DOE

At Hubexo, you’ll turn manufacturers’ technical information into clear, accurate product content and specifications for NBS Source and Chorus/Lattira Spec.

This is a role for someone who can bring construction knowledge and technical judgement to complex information: investigate gaps, question inconsistencies and explain the detail clearly. Your work will help architects and specifiers make informed decisions about the products they use.

What you’ll do

Working in our Supplier Technical Delivery team, you’ll:

• Write and maintain technical product information and specifications, researching missing details and resolving conflicting documentation.

• Classify building products and systems, define product variants and maintain structured specification and supplied BIM data.

• Review supporting documents and certification evidence, checking what they substantiate and raising unresolved technical or compliance questions.

• Work directly with manufacturers to clarify requirements, advise on product information and manage changes.

• Assess whether product information is ready for delivery, identifying gaps in scope, classifications or variants before work progresses.

• Review and publish content through agreed checks, and help graduates and trainees develop their authoring and classification skills.

You’ll manage your workload and customer requests, balancing careful technical review with delivery deadlines.

What you’ll bring

You’ll have a relevant built environment degree—or equivalent relevant professional experience—and practical knowledge of construction products, systems and specifications.

We’re looking for evidence that you can:

• Write and edit accurate construction specifications or technical product content from manufacturer documentation.

• Handle complex technical information independently, investigate discrepancies and make sound judgements about the evidence available.

• Classify products and systems and work confidently with structured information.

• Interpret relevant standards and understand how BIM relates to product information and specifications.

• Explain technical requirements clearly to customers and colleagues.

• Organise your workload, meet deadlines and raise technical or delivery risks early.

Experience with NBS Source, Chorus/Lattira Spec, Uniclass or CAWS would be useful, alongside technical content publishing or coaching colleagues. These are desirable rather than essential.

What you’ll gain

You’ll apply your construction expertise across a range of manufacturers and building products, contributing to information used by architects and specifiers.

Alongside authoring, you’ll develop your experience in technical review, customer guidance and supporting colleagues. You’ll work with our authoring, specification content and Uniclass teams, sharing knowledge and helping improve the quality of our content.

Working arrangements and benefits

You’ll work a 35-hour week, Monday to Friday, with three days at One Trinity Gardens in Newcastle and two days working from home.

Benefits include:

• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, the option to buy or sell holiday, and birthday leave.

• Two volunteering days.

• Pension and life assurance.

• Discounted private medical insurance, 24/7 remote GP access and an Employee Assistance Programme.

• An onsite gym and eye-care support.

• A cycle-to-work scheme and an interest-free travel-ticket loan.
