Elements and Performance Criteria
- Plan and coordinate for the design of transmission, sub-transmission and zone substation protection and control systems
- OHS practices/procedures and environmental and sustainable energy procedures, which may influence the design of substations, are reviewed and determined.
- Purpose of the design is established and expected outcomes of the work are confirmed with the appropriate personnel.
- Established policies, procedures and specifications for the design are obtained or established with the appropriate personnel.
- Equipment/tools and personal protective equipment are selected and coordinated based on specified requirements and established procedures
- Work is prioritised and sequenced for the most efficient and effective outcome following consultation with others for completion within acceptable timeframes, to a quality standard and in accordance with established procedures
- Risk control measures are identified, prioritised and evaluated against the work schedule
- Relevant work permits are secured to coordinate the performance of work according to requirements and/or established procedures
- Resources including personnel, equipment, tools and personal protective equipment required for the job are identified, scheduled and coordinated and confirmed in a safe and technical working order
- Liaison and communication issues with other/authorised personnel, authorities, clients and land-owners are resolved and activities coordinated to carry out work
- Site is prepared according to the work schedule and to minimise risk and damage to property, commerce, and individuals in accordance with established procedures
- Personnel participating in the work, including plant operators and contractors, are fully briefed and respective responsibilities coordinated and authorised where applicable in accordance with established procedures
- Carry out and coordinate the design of transmission, sub-transmission and zone substation protection and control systems
- Circuit/systems modelling is used to evaluate alternative proposals as per established procedures.
- OHS and sustainable energy principles, functionality and practices to reduce the incidents of accidents and minimise waste are incorporated into the project in accordance with requirements and/or established procedures
- System design decisions are made on the basis of safety and effective outcomes according to requirements and/or established procedures
- Mathematical models of the design are used to analyse the effectiveness of the finished project as per requirements and established procedures
- Technical advice is given regarding potential hazards, safety risks and control measures so that monitoring and preventative action can be undertaken and/or appropriate authorities consulted, where necessary, in accordance with requirements and established procedures
- Essential knowledge and associated skills are applied to analyse specific data and compare it with compliance specifications to ensure completion of the project within an agreed timeframe according to requirements.
- Solutions to non-routine problems are identified and actioned using acquired essential knowledge and associated skills according to requirements
- Quality of work is monitored against personal performance agreement and/or established organisational and professional standards.
- Complete and coordinate the design of transmission, sub-transmission and zone substation protection and control systems
- Final checks of the design are undertaken to ensure they comply with all requirements and include all specifications and documentations needed to complete the design brief.
- Appropriate personnel are notified of completion and reports and/or completion documents are finalised.
- Reports and/or completion documents are submitted to relevant personnel/organisations for approval and, where applicable, statutory or regulatory approval
- Approved copies of design documents are issued and records are updated in accordance with established procedures.
