Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to lead and develop a small engineering team.

It includes organising the engine room for departure, managing the daily engine room routine, managing an engineering team, managing engineering procedures in port and managing engineering emergencies.

This unit applies to people working in the maritime industry in the capacity of:

Chief Engineer on vessels with inboard engines less than 1500 kW within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ)

Second Engineer on vessels with inboard engines less than 3000 kW within the EEZ

Chief or Second Engineer on vessels with outboard engines with unlimited propulsion power within the EEZ

assistant under the direct supervision of the Chief Engineer

worker in the engine room of a vessel less than 80 metres in length with propulsion power less than 3000 kW.

Licensing/Regulatory Information

Legislative and regulatory requirements are applicable to this unit.

This unit is one of the requirements to obtain Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) certification as a Marine Engine Driver Grade 1 Near Coastal as defined in the National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) Part D.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

completing routine engine room tasks, including:

logbook entries

monitoring of equipment in engine room

regular inspection of engine room

responding to alarms

watchkeeping arrangements

developing effective planning documents

displaying sound personnel management

leading team members in an emergency

planning, organising and monitoring team member activity

writing reports.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

consultation and communication techniques and strategies

hazards associated with flammable/explosive materials

hazards of gases, including accidental release in a confined space

managing emergencies

manufacturer instructions, including all work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and safety data sheets (SDS)/material safety data sheets (MSDS)

maritime regulations, rules and instructions

organisational policies and procedures

principles and techniques involved in:

leadership and mentoring

performance management systems

regulations for stowing and managing flammable/explosive materials, including:

chemicals

diesel

gases

liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

lubricants

petrol

relevant legislation especially in regard to WHS/OHS and environmental issues

requirements for confined space entry and hot work permits

safety management systems (SMS)

testing of gas detectors.

Assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Practical assessment must occur in a workplace, or realistic simulated workplace, under the normal range of workplace conditions.

Simulations and scenarios may be used where situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely, in particular for situations relating to emergency procedures and adverse weather conditions where assessment would be unsafe, impractical or may lead to environmental damage.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

applicable documentation, such as legislation, regulations, codes of practice, workplace procedures and operational manuals

tools, equipment, machinery, materials and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
