• Mapping and improving technical/operational processes
• Creating documentation that supports compliance, QA and change‑control
• Working with SMEs across engineering, operations & field services
• Publishing via Confluence/SharePoint & visualising workflows

About You

What You’ll Bring

• Experience writing technical standards, SOPs or operational documentation
• Strong process analysis & documentation skills
• Tooling familiarity (Confluence, SharePoint, Visio/Lucid)
• Ability to work with engineers & operational teams
• Eye for accuracy, structure & continuous improvement
