I am an experienced technical German translator with 21 years' service within the manufacturing industry, supported by 4 years in language-based positions. During my previous employment as Senior Technical German Translator for a leading German bearing manufacturer and supplier of automotive components, I was responsible for translating and proofreading a wide range of product catalogues, technical publications, internal standards and procedures, inspection reports and visit reports, as well as presentation, marketing, workshop and training material, from German into English. Now operating on a freelance basis, I can provide translation, proofreading and post-editing services to a high quality, in line with customer requirements, and within the desired timeframe.
