Our client’s corporate language is British English. The use of English has increased significantly in recent years, in part as a result of cooperation with other companies within the group. The need for English language services has therefore become more apparent.

Your duties
The day-to-day work of the team comprises regular production such as terminology work and quality assurance with language service providers, as well as continuous improvement. We follow a structured approach to accomplish our set objectives. In order to support the requirement for improved and standardised communication within the TRATON group, and to align our external communication in English, we need to strengthen our team with a native English speaking language advisor.
