- Create and update technical illustrations, product artwork, labels and symbols, and proofread, edit and format documents using desktop-publishing software.
- Arrange external translations, reviewing and reformatting translated documentation as required.
- Prepare files for external printing, check printer proofs and support in-house printing of user manuals and other documentation needed by Production.
- Apply company templates, style guides and branding consistently, while supporting routine Publications administration, ordering stationery and supplies, and undertaking related activities within your capabilities.
