Technical Writing & Technical Documentation
With 15 years of Technical Writing and Technical Documentation experience in the door hardware, mechanical engineering, automation, and solar industries, I have realized how much I enjoy the detail-oriented nature of this style of writing.
A dedicated Technical Writer is beneficial for many reasons.
Here are a few of the top reasons why a Technical Writer is important for your company:
​
• Alleviate the time-crunch pressure.
Writing installation instructions, operator manuals, procedural documents, work instructions, etc.
can be daunting and time-consuming. •
​
• Seamless transition into the position.
Without a knowledgeable writing expert in that role,
it can also be expensive and a waste of a lot of people's time.•
​
• Technical documentation is also the face of your company.
If incorrectly branded, sloppily created, or inconsistently structured,
it can cause confusion for customers installing and utilizing your products. •
​
• Accuracy and consistency every...single...time.
Poorly created documentation can also greatly affect your company's reputation
as being professional and organized within the industry. •
​
I'd like to take that task off your plate for you so you can focus on more pressing matters.
Using a dedicated Technical Writer can significantly ease a lot of stressors for your teams and
keep your company's workflow flowing smoothly.
