About this vacancy.

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

We are looking for a Documentation Engineer who ensures that every project is supported by accurate and complete technical documentation. Are you the person who can translate machine specifications into clear and understandable information for end users? Then we're looking for you!

In this role, you will be the key point of contact for all documentation-related aspects of a project. You will ensure our customers receive accurate information about every aspect of our machines through illustrations and written content in the machine manuals. You will be responsible for delivering high-quality technical documentation.

No two machines are the same, and neither are the manuals. This makes the role both diverse and challenging, as you will work closely with nearly every discipline involved in a project to gather the required information.

Responsibilities include:

  • Creating the overall machine description;

  • Collecting and coordinating the required information from within the organization and our international locations;

  • Developing maintenance instructions and procedures;

  • Creating operator instructions for machine use;

  • Developing machine safety instructions and guidelines.

The application process.

Great that you’ve applied! We’ll review your application carefully and get back to you within a week.

You’ll meet with a recruiter and/or hiring manager to discuss your experience, motivation, and the role.

A deeper conversation with the team about the (technical) aspects of the role and how you would collaborate day to day.

Depending on the role, we may include a practical or skills assessment.

When it’s a match, we’ll share an offer and walk you through next steps to join AWL.
