Engineering Writing Workshops

Empower Engineers to Write Clear, Concise, and Targeted Technical Documents

Understanding Engineering Writing Workshops

Writing is often the last thing engineers are trained for, yet it’s one of the most critical skills for clear communication. Our engineering writing workshops help technical professionals convey complex information so that it’s accurate, efficient, and easy to understand. Our workshops improve engineers’ ability to write clear, structured, and logical documents: skills that translate directly to better reports, emails, instructions, and presentations.

What Sets Our Engineering Writing Workshops Apart

We don’t teach generic writing tips. Our workshops are grounded in the way engineers think and work. By combining real-world writing samples with reader-focused techniques, we show participants how to strengthen their writing using the same critical thinking they apply to technical problems. From planning to final edits, we guide teams through a repeatable process that works.

Course Format That Fits Your Team

We offer flexible formats to suit onsite, hybrid, or remote teams. Our instructor-led sessions can run as two-hour virtual blocks or multi-day onsite intensives. Every format includes team exercises, instructor feedback, and real examples from your field. Online courses are also available for self-paced learning, complete with optional coaching and writing feedback.

Who Can Benefit from These Workshops

These workshops are designed for professionals across engineering teams who write reports, procedures, investigations, or client-facing documents. Whether drafting technical content or reviewing others’ work, after attending a Hurley Write workshop, attendees are armed with tools to write faster, with more confidence and better results. If your team communicates through documentation, this workshop will elevate their skills.

Workshop Highlights

Our engineering writing workshops are built to help technical teams write better with less effort. These sessions go beyond grammar: they teach teams how to think strategically about structure, purpose, and reader. Each session is built around your team’s actual documents, ensuring the sessions are practical and immediately useful. Participants walk away with tools they can use in every document they write.

Tailored Content

We use your team’s real writing samples to design content that’s directly relevant to your work and industry.

Hands-On Practice

Participants apply new techniques through live exercises, breakout sessions, and instructor-led group work.
