Employability Skills Qualification Summary | |
Employability Skill | Industry/enterprise requirements for this qualification include the following facets: |
Communication | apply communication skills discuss vocational issues effectively with colleagues impart knowledge and ideas through oral, written and visual means apply literacy skills to: assess and use workplace information locate and interpret legislation and other written documentation prepare and manage documentation and information flow read and write key performance reports, including technical reports research and evaluate (high level) in order to source SIS educational information document project objectives, deliverables, constraints, principal work activities and equipment requirements according to spatial data specifications and client requirements implement and maintain agreed communication processes between project members, clients and other stakeholders complete required documentation promptly, accurately and according to organisational guidelines implement and apply agreed communication processes between project members, clients and other stakeholders apply numeracy skills to: analyse errors conduct image analysis interpret and analyse statistics perform mental calculations record with accuracy and precision undertake high level computations |
Teamwork | relate to people from a range of social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities present project specifications to relevant personnel inform relevant personnel of the results according to organisational guidelines |
Problem solving | evaluate spatial information to apply knowledge to plan future collection requirements scope spatial data acquisition requirements analyse client instructions to determine specific needs and spatial data requirements evaluate available collection options research and adhere to pertinent legal and statutory standards create, extract and output information from engineering plans spatial skills to: understand the holistic implications of height, depth, breadth, dimension, direction and position to actual operational activity and virtual representation exercise precision and accuracy in relation to surveying solve complex problems relating to height, depth, breadth, dimension, direction and position in actual operational activity and virtual representation design and interpret technical documentation |
Initiative and enterprise | select preferred option on the basis of client needs and organisational capability and priorities develop spatial data collection and validation plan create survey drawings using suitable software |
Planning and organising | plan spatial data collection and validation plan the processes and procedures involved in undertaking field surveys, including access, layout, development and provision of services, according to organisational and OHS guidelines organise resources for survey operations prepare computer-aided design environment implement project management mechanisms to measure, record and report progress of activities in relation to the agreed schedule and plans archive spatial data according to project specifications |
Self-management | delegate duties prioritise activities adhere to OHS requirements throughout the conduct of design and drawing procedures |
Learning | perform file management and train others in this task perform spatial data archival and retrieval and train others in this task perform spatial data management and manipulation and train others in this task train others in spatial precision techniques update skills and knowledge to accommodate changes in operating environment and equipment apply knowledge of terminology and nomenclature applicable to surveying |
Technology | use a computer (high technical user level) to develop business documentation create survey drawings using suitable software conduct operational elements of surveying operations understand and apply high-level, relevant engineering-related tasks and associated computations |
