This is insulting.
A typist is not a technical writer, and "taking edits from subject
matter experts and dropping them into FrameMaker documents" is not
technical writing. You want a stenographer with FrameMaker experience.
You probably *need* a technical writer but don't know what a technical
writer is and would be unwilling to pay for one anyway.
Is it Structured FrameMaker? Unstructured? What version? What plugins?
Do you need index entries? Cross-references? Do you even know what you
are asking for?

This would be a perfect position for someone trying to break into tech
writing as you will be mostly taking edits from subject matter experts
and dropping them into FrameMaker documents.

The situation reminds me of a story about a rather self-satisfied
medical doctor making dinner conversation with his son's future in-laws,
who were life-long farmers. Said the doctor, "I've long thought that
after I retire, I'll buy a little property and take up farming." Said
the farmer, "What a coincidence! I've long thought that after I retire,
I'll buy a little office and take up medicine." The doctor fell silent
for a time until the red in his face diminished somewhat...
