- Media & Visual Content: Utilize photos and video recordings on-site to build visually engaging, easy-to-follow process guides.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner directly with Quality and Operations staff to extract accurate operational information and incorporate SME feedback.
- Document Control: Maintain digital filing systems, standardise legacy formats using company templates, and ensure proper version control.
Skills & Qualifications
- Experience in technical writing, process mapping, or creating visual work instructions within a manufacturing, operational, or production environment.
