Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to coordinate and monitor asset construction, including site management and associated commissioning and post-commissioning activities. This requires the ability to conduct often complex planning of activities including the scheduling and resourcing of projects and the monitoring of the project to ensure the completion of the work in line with the organisation’s requirements and to the required quality.This unit applies to those working as operators with responsibility for ensuring that asset construction activities are performed and completed in compliance with all relevant organisational and statutory requirements.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work independently or in a team, and may be responsible for the coordination of an operational team. They would perform complex tasks in a familiar context, ensuring minimum damage to the environment. However, the level of responsibility may vary according to the size, scope, location and technical complexity of individual projects. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
