Unit of Competency NWPSOU041 - Coordinate and monitor bulkwater system operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to monitor and coordinate the operation of bulkwater systems, to measure and report on system performance and process quality control.This unit applies to workers responsible for ensuring that bulkwater system operations are coordinated and monitored to ensure compliance with 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 coordinate an operational team. They would perform complex tasks in mostly familiar contexts while ensuring minimum damage to the environment. 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.

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
