About the Role

Parametrix is seeking a detail-oriented Mid-Level On-Call Editor to support the editing of planning, engineering, and marketing documents across multiple disciplines.

This fully remote, flexible role is ideal for experienced editors who excel at applying consistent style, ensuring clarity, and managing shifting workloads. The position is on-call, with variable weekly hours—some weeks may be busy, others quiet—so clear communication around availability is key.

Candidates will be asked to complete a brief sample edit of a marketing proposal in Adobe Acrobat using the Parametrix Style Guide. This is not a test, but a chance to understand your editing approach.

You Will:

Provide copyediting and light substantive editing for a wide range of technical documents. These include the following:
1. Environmental assessments and reports.
2. Traffic analyses and transportation studies.
3. Stormwater and wastewater management plans.
4. Comprehensive and community plans.
5. Marketing proposals and resumes.
Support project teams by:
1. Applying sound editorial judgment while adhering to grammar rules and Parametrix or client-specific style guidelines.
2. Editing in Microsoft Word using tracked changes and annotating PDFs using Adobe Acrobat.
3. Navigating and editing documents stored in SharePoint.
4. Identifying and addressing inconsistencies in structure, formatting, and usage.
5. Ensuring correct and consistent use of terminology, acronyms, punctuation, in-text citations, and references.
6. Writing clear, professional queries when clarification is needed.
7. Communicating with project teams to help ensure clarity, consistency, and quality of deliverables.

You Have:

3+ years of recent editing experience in a technical or professional services environment.
Familiarity with AEC, planning, or environmental sciences terminology and document types.
A strong command of grammar, punctuation, and editorial judgment.
Proficiency in Microsoft Word (tracked changes) and Adobe Acrobat and comfort working in SharePoint.
The ability to switch easily between the Chicago Manual of Style, Associated Press Stylebook, and client-specific style guides.
The ability to work independently and meet tight or shifting deadlines.

Compensation Information: Hourly rate for this position is in the range of $35-40/hour.

Compensation is determined by factors such as education, experience, location, and role. We conduct an equity review for all positions. We value transparency in salary discussions and look forward to sharing more about our compensation structure and the benefits of being an employee-owner.
