This role partners closely with Field Service Engineers, Engineering, Training, and Quality teams to observe field activities, validate work instructions, and identify opportunities to improve documentation, process consistency, and operational excellence.

In addition to technical writing responsibilities, the Technical Writer conducts field audits and process verification to evaluate adherence to company procedures, quality standards, safety requirements, and regulatory guidelines.

· Validate that documented procedures accurately reflect field practices and are practical, safe, and executable.

· Collaborate with Engineering, Product Development, Training, and Field Service teams to create, revise, and improve technical documentation.

· Review audit findings to identify process gaps, non-conformances, documentation deficiencies, and compliance risks.

· Track corrective actions through completion and verify the effectiveness of implemented improvements.

· Ensure field personnel consistently follow approved procedures, work instructions, and quality system requirements.

· Monitor compliance with applicable safety regulations, company safety policies, and customer site requirements during field operations.

· Maintain accurate audit reports, technical documentation, revision histories, and quality records.

· Analyze audit trends and performance metrics to identify recurring issues and recommend process improvements.

· Support document control processes, including version control, document approvals, and change management.

· Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on standardization, operational efficiency, documentation quality, and service excellence.

· Assist in developing training materials and documentation that support technician onboarding and ongoing technical development.

· Communicate audit results, documentation updates, and process recommendations to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

· Travel to customer sites as needed to observe field operations, validate procedures, and support documentation improvements.

· Perform other duties as assigned.
