Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Assess equipment condition
2. Equipment condition is established through tagged repair sheets from the field and initial examination
3. Condition of all out-of-tolerance equipment and components is correctly identified and recorded through detailed inspection and testing
4. Type and extent of required repairs are evaluated to determine viability of repair operations and to estimate time requirements
5. Components requiring disposal are identified and replacement components are arranged to allow work to commence
6. Replace components
7. Equipment is dismantled to the extent required to carry out previously identified repairs
8. Components requiring replacement are stored for later repair/disposed of in line with organisational requirements
9. Components are replaced/repaired/returned to operational condition in line with technical specifications and standard workshop practices
10. Produce components
11. Components are produced to comply with the defined job requirements and technical specifications
12. Appropriate manufacturing/workshop techniques are applied to ensure required quality components are produced
13. Assemble components
14. Assembly methods and sequencing are planned to ensure efficient operations
15. Components are laid out for assembly in accordance with planned processes
16. Assembly of all components, sub-assemblies and equipment is correctly carried out in accordance with planned operations, and job and technical specifications
17. Securing methods and operations are carried out in accordance with job and technical specifications
18. Test and adjust equipment
19. Equipment functions are tested to ensure conformance to drawings and specifications
20. Assembly and joining/securing processes and outcomes are checked and tested as required to match the job and technical specifications
21. Adjustments are made to ensure all equipment operations meet the technical specifications
22. Operational/functional compliance to the job and technical specifications is confirmed and certified
23. Required documentation is correctly completed and forwarded to appropriate personnel to confirm the equipment is certified for use

Range Statement

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