Are you a technical communicator who thrives on the production floor rather than behind a desk?
We are seeking a

Technical Writing & Training Specialist

to join our team at a critical point in our ERP transition. This isn't your typical technical writing role; while you will maintain and update our standard operating procedures (SOPs), the heart of this position is

empowering our workforce.
You will spend 60%–70% of your time on the production floor, working side-by-side with Process Operators, Supervisors, and Logistics teams to ensure our Oracle ERP transactions are executed "Right First Time."
The Mission:
Bridge the Gap:

Take our robust Oracle User Guides and translate that knowledge directly to the production floor through one-on-one and small-group training.
On-the-Floor Mentorship:

Guide operators through filling, packaging, and forklift jobs within the Oracle system, providing the "why" behind the "how."
Maintain Compliance:

Update and amend Work Instructions (WIs) and Job Aids to ensure they reflect current protocols and meet strict

FDA, cGMP, and ISO

standards.
Collaborate with SMEs:

Partner with engineers and quality teams to gather technical insights and refine documentation for clarity and ease of use.
Drive Quality:

Ensure documentation and execution are seamless, helping to minimize errors and maintain the integrity of our infection prevention products.
What We Are Looking For:
The "Human" Element:

You must be patient, a great listener, and able to interact positively with everyone from the warehouse floor to senior management.
Technical Writing Foundation:

Experience creating or editing SOPs, Work Instructions, and Validation Reports in a

GMP-regulated

environment.
The Oracle Advantage:

Prior experience navigating

Oracle ERP

is a huge plus, though we are willing to train a self-starter who is eager to master the system.
Regulatory Savvy:

Familiarity with Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS), PLM, or QMS.
Adaptability:

A "can-do" attitude and the ability to pivot between writing technical steps and conducting hands‑on training.
