Technical Content Specialist

A sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable future for dairy farmers by combining robotics, engineering, and farming expertise. That's what we believe in.

It all began 75 years ago with a dream of two brothers in Maassluis. Since then, we have been an innovative leader in automated systems for dairy farmers worldwide. With 2.400 specialized professionals, we constantly strive towards new agricultural revolutions. We operate not only from our Campus in Maassluis (the building with the highest sustainability performance in the Netherlands) but also from other international locations. Together, our aim is to make dairy farming interesting for the next generation.

As a Technical Content Specialist in our technical support department, you fulfill an essential role.

You work within the Feeding product team, where you collaborate with colleagues on technical support for both the Lely Vector, an automated feeding system, and the Lely Juno, an automated feed pusher.

You are responsible for creating, updating and maintaining technical manuals, instructions and other documents that are essential for the correct use, installation and maintenance of both systems. For example, a major project you will work on is the development of the Lely Troubleshooting Advisor app, where troubleshooting flows are being created so that our service engineers worldwide can effectively solve malfunctions for the Lely Vector.

Within your role you will work closely with various stakeholders, including product development, documentation/communications specialists in other product teams and colleagues in our international offices, to ensure that our documentation meets user needs and expectations.

• You actively incorporate feedback from stakeholders and target audiences and translate this feedback into new or updated materials, such as technical manuals, instructions and other documentation, to ensure that our documentation meets user needs and expectations.
• You will work with the team to develop new training courses and expand existing training courses, so that technicians around the world are well prepared to efficiently maintain and use the Lely Vector system and the Lely Juno.

You have the ability to present highly technical information in writing in an understandable manner. In addition to your professional knowledge, you also have a commercial sense. You also recognize yourself in:

• Bachelor's level of working and thinking, substantiated by a completed bachelor's or master's degree or working experience, preferably in a communications or technical field
