Vacancy
Acquisition based on this advertisement is not appreciated. We usually fill the vacancies ourselves and in exceptional cases we work with preferred suppliers.
As the Head of Documentation at EuroSort, you are ultimately responsible for the delivery of documentation for projects concerning customer-sorting installations. This includes operating and maintenance manuals for installations, test documentation (iSAT/SAT) based on functional and technical specifications, performance test documentation and training documents. You structure, design, write and maintain this documentation and ensure that documents are delivered on time. In doing so, you manage the Technical Writers in your team by distributing projects and assessing the work delivered.
An important task as Head of Documentation is setting up the department and further developing the documentation structure and chain. You will draw up a strategy for this and translate this into processes that fit in well with the rest of the organisation. For newly developed products, you also ensure that a clear process plan is drawn up so that the required documents are in place when the product is launched. In this respect, you maintain close contact with colleagues from various departments, such as Engineers, Project Managers and colleagues from the Sales department.
You manage the Documentation department, which consists of Junior and Senior Technical Writers. You report to the Projects Manager.
If you enjoy setting up and improving processes and find it challenging to involve colleagues from many different departments in the process, then this is a job for you.
Working week
On an enjoyable working day, you have productive internal and external consultations. In addition, a process has been improved, allowing you to work more efficiently from now on.
On a less enjoyable working day, you cannot find the specifications you need and have to chase colleagues a lot to get this information in time.
