ASSA ABLOY is the global leader in access solutions, helping billions of people move through a safer, more open world. Our brands, including Lockwood, Yale and Whitco, are trusted across Australia and New Zealand for quality, reliability and innovation.

We're looking for a Sr.Specification Writer to support our New Zealand Specification team. This is a remote role based in India, working from the ASSA ABLOY India regional office and operating as part of the ASSA ABLOY India team. You'll play a key part in delivering accurate door and hardware specifications, supporting project outcomes, and collaborating closely with a high-performing trans-Tasman team.

If you enjoy technical detail, working with construction drawings, and contributing to real-world building projects, this role offers both impact and growth.

The Role

Working closely with the New Zealand Specification team, you'll be responsible for preparing detailed door and hardware schedules, supporting sales teams, and ensuring all specifications meet relevant codes and standards.

Key Focus Areas

• Prepare accurate door and hardware specifications and schedules
• Interpret construction drawings and project requirements
• Ensure compliance with building codes, NZ standards, and fire regulations
• Provide technical support to sales teams, architects, and contractors
• Generate project quotations and manage pricing within guidelines
• Maintain accurate project data in CRM systems
• Support project discussions and provide product clarification
• Contribute to knowledge sharing and adoption of AAOS tools
• Support non‑specified discretionary projects generated from lead‑generation tools
  
  

About You

You're someone who enjoys technical work and takes pride in getting the details right.

• 6+ years experience in a related role (specifications, construction, or similar)
• Understanding of door hardware, architectural, or construction industry
• Ability to read and interpret building drawings
• Knowledge of building codes and compliance requirements
• Strong communication skills, especially in a remote team environment
• Comfortable working independently and managing your time
• Experience with specification, CRM, or estimation tools
  
  

GAI or DHI qualifications are a plus, but not essential.

• Work with a global leader in access solutions
• Be part of a collaborative, cross-country team
• Exposure to diverse and complex building projects
• Opportunity to build technical expertise and grow your career
• Stable, long-term opportunity in a growing business
