We are seeking a compliance-focused contract technical writer to support the development and refinement of safety and operations documentation. This role requires translating complex regulatory standards into clear, enforceable, and field-ready procedures that align with the most stringent requirements (e.g., ANSI Z133, CAL/OSHA, OSHA).
The Technical Writer will collaborate closely with subject matter experts (SMEs), project managers, and other stakeholders to produce documentation that meets standards for legal defensibility, enforceability, and operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities
- Identify duplications, overlaps, and ambiguous language; propose clear, actionable rewrites
- Analyze existing documents and regulatory references (ANSI, OSHA, CAL/OSHA, internal standards) to determine the most stringent applicable standard for each section
- Convert vague or passive language into precise, procedural instructions to ensure usability and enforceability
- Incorporate stakeholder feedback into documentation updates
Qualifications

- Strong command of clear, concise, and procedural language
