Creation of assembly instructions for Fitness equipment

Description

I seek an experienced technical writer to author assembly manuals for our line of home fitness equipment. The products are low-complexity and require clear, step-by-step textual instructions to guide users through the assembly process safely and effectively.
The ideal candidate will have experience drafting concise, yet comprehensive assembly guides. Strong writing and organizational abilities are essential to clearly convey assembly steps, part listings, and safety cautions. Familiarity with fitness equipment or similar durable goods would be advantageous but is not mandatory.
Assembly manuals will be designed for self-assembly by non-professional users. As such, they must use simple, direct language and employ ample visual aids to supplement textual directions where possible. Formatting and structure should follow manual design best practices to optimize user comprehension and effort. Accuracy is critical to prevent faulty assembly.
This independent contractor role offers flexibility to work remotely on a contract basis. Upon receiving product specifications and prototypes, the writer will analyze the assembly process, outline and draft manuals according to brand style guidelines. Finalized documents will undergo quality control review before publication. Ongoing opportunities may become available based on business needs and writer performance.
Interested parties should demonstrate aptitude in technical communication, commitment to detail/accuracy, and ability to work independently with minimal oversight. Proficiency with DTP/layout software is a plus though not mandatory. This is a fixed-price contract with immediate
