  • Collaborate with the Instructional Designer to map program requirements into learning objectives, assessments, and job aids.
  • Ensure fidelity between program document text and corresponding training content so that employees receive consistent messaging.
  • Review and contribute written content for training deliverables (e.g., facilitator guides, quick-reference cards, eLearning scripts) as needed.
  • Prepare documents for publication in conformance with WCAG 2.1 AA and ADA Title II for publicly posted materials.
  • Develop and maintain an EHS writing style guide and standard operating procedures for the technical writing function.

    • Skill in conducting structured interviews to extract, verify, and validate technical information from SMEs with varied communication styles.
    • Skill in editing and proofreading documents for grammar, consistency, clarity, and conformance to an established style guide.
    • Skill in using AI tools to support document drafting, editing, formatting, and content development workflows.

    • Ability to build and maintain productive working relationships with SMEs, leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders to drive review and approval workflows.
    • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while managing multiple concurrent writing projects with competing deadlines.
