Technical Documentation Specialist

We’re looking for a sharp, organised Technical Documentation Specialist to create clear, audit-ready documentation for our heat pump products (CE/PED/EMC) and build a smooth, reusable process from development to production. If you’re great at breaking down complex ideas and keeping things on track, we’d love to hear from you!

What you’ll do

• Take charge of our documentation: organise, version, and create checklists to keep everything spot on.
• Write and update manuals for design, installation, operation, and service, including visuals, spare parts lists, and safety information.
• Ensure compliance with CE/PED standards, covering technical dossiers, risk assessments, and standards like EN 378-2 or EN 60204-1.
• Handle EMC documentation: plan tests, work with labs, and manage reports.
• Set up FAT procedures, test protocols, and certificates.
• Coordinate EPD data collection and work with third parties for verification.
• Manage translations (English, Danish, German, French, Polish) and ensure quality.
• Build templates and tools using MKDocs, Pandoc, LaTeX, or similar, plus style guides.
• Team up with our mechanical, electrical, controls, production, quality, and procurement teams.

Your first 90 days

• Days 0–30: Review current documents, identify gaps, and plan the path to production. Set up checklists, style guides, and release gates.
• Days 30–60: Draft installation and operation manuals, prepare EMC test plans, start EPD data, and get translations underway.
• Days 60–90: Deliver audit-ready documents for a key project (manuals, FAT, EMC), finalise translations, and establish a solid QA process.

What success looks like

• Audit-ready CE/PED/EMC packages for each project.
• Meet monthly document completion targets.
• Resolve audit findings before production begins.
• Quick turnaround on document updates.
• On-time, error-free translations.

What you bring

• 3–5+ years as a technical writer or documentation engineer in HVAC, energy, or machinery.
• Experience with CE technical dossiers and standards like EN 378-2, EN 60204-1, or EMC (EN 61000 series). Bonus if you know PED!
• Comfortable reading P&IDs, electrical schematics, and BOMs, with an understanding of production flow.
• Familiar with Git, Jira, or Confluence (or similar tools).
• Strong written skills in Danish and English.

Nice-to-haves

• Knowledge of R290/flammable refrigerants and safety sections.
• Experience with EMC testing or EPD/LCA processes.
• Skills in MkDocs, Pandoc, LaTeX, Illustrator, Inkscape, and image editing.

Who you are

• Highly organised and detail focused.
• Great at ensuring traceability.
• A team player who can lead cross-functional reviews.
• Able to keep up the pace without cutting corners.
• Skilled at making complex topics clear and simple.

Why join us?

• Competitive salary based on your skills.
• Pension scheme and health insurance.
• Six weeks of paid holiday.
• Shape documentation standards across multiple projects
• Collaborate across the organisation to drive project success.
