Applying for "Technical writer"

Technical writer

Within our Business Unit Intralogistics, we are working on taking warehouse and distribution center automation to the next level. We do this by deploying automated robots and vision technology, making logistics processes faster, smarter, and more efficient.

For our Business Unit, we are looking for someone who ensures the correct technical documentation for our projects. Are you the one who can perfectly translate our machine specifications into clear descriptions for users? Then we are looking for you!

In this role, you are the central point of a project regarding documentation. You ensure that our customers receive the right information about all aspects of our machines, using illustrations and written text in the machine manual. You are responsible for delivering the technical manuals. No two machines are the same, and therefore neither are the manuals. This makes your work versatile and challenging, as you closely collaborate with almost all disciplines within the project to gather the necessary information.

Your responsibilities include:

Creating the overall description of the machine;
Requesting the necessary information within the organization and our international branches;
Drafting maintenance instructions;
Creating operating instructions for the machine;
Developing machine safety instructions.

We fill our vacancies through our own recruitment department. We therefore do not welcome unsolicited approaches in relation to this vacancy.
Unsolicited profiles, CVs or candidate proposals from agencies (in any form whatsoever) will be regarded as direct applications from the candidate themselves. No rights may be derived from these, and no remuneration is payable in respect of them.
