Techincal Data Entry Operator

Job Description — Technical Data Entry Operator (Documentation)

Organisation: Vernacular Consultancy Services Pvt. Ltd.

Location: Lucknow

Type: Full-time

Reports to: Senior Reviewer / Documentation Lead

About the role

We are building a clean, structured digital library of technical standards and reference documents. This role is responsible for accurately converting printed technical material — text, tables, and diagrams — into well-organised digital files, following a fixed set of preparation guidelines. The work rewards precision, patience, and consistency along with speed. Every file you produce is checked by a senior reviewer before it is accepted, so accuracy is the core of the job.

This is a detail-first role. If you take pride in getting every number, unit, and label exactly right, and in producing tidy, predictable, consistent work, you will do well here.

Key responsibilities

• Transcribe text from technical documents into structured Word files exactly as printed, preserving clause numbers, headings, values, and page references, following the preparation guidelines precisely.
• Re-key tables into Microsoft Excel, reproducing the exact structure, filling every value, keeping headings complete, and ensuring units stay with their numbers.
• Find relevant images on internet as examples to the diagrams in the guidelines.
• Follow the standard file-naming and folder conventions without variation.
• Flag anything illegible, missing, or unclear rather than guessing, and pass it to the reviewer.
• Make corrections returned by the reviewer promptly and carefully.
• Maintain confidentiality of all source material and work only from the official copies provided.

Required skills and qualifications

• Graduate in any discipline (a diploma or degree in civil engineering, architecture, or drafting is an advantage, not essential).
• Strong Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word skills.
• Good typing accuracy and speed.
• Comfort reading technical documents, tables, and engineering diagrams.
• Exceptional attention to detail and the discipline to follow a fixed format exactly.
• Good written English, sufficient to transcribe technical text faithfully.

Preferred

• Prior experience in technical documentation, drafting, or engineering data entry.
• Familiarity with engineering or infrastructure standards.
• Basic understanding of tables, dimensions, and drawings in a technical context.

What we value in this role

• Accuracy and speed — both, always.
• Consistency: your work should look identical in structure to every colleague's.
• Honesty about uncertainty: flag, don't guess.
• Care and tidiness in everything you produce.
