Electro-Technical Officer Technical Handbook Creation

I'm looking for a skilled technical writer to create a comprehensive technical handbook for an Electro-technical Officer. This handbook should be focused on current technology and IMO standards, and should be written in a formal and technical style. Handbook should serve as a comprehensive guide for ETOs working in the maritime industry, covering technical, operational, and safety-related aspects of their duties. Key Requirements: - The handbook must be in a Word document format. - It should cover specific topics such as Marine Electrical Systems. - The tone of the writing should be formal and technical. Ideal Skills: - Excellent technical writing skills. - Vast knowledge of Marine Electrical Systems. - Familiarity with current technology and IMO standards. - Proficient in Word document formatting. The goal is to create a handbook that is both informative and compliant with the necessary technical standards. Please provide examples of similar work you've done in the past.
