The unit requires using specialist equipment to measure, record and reduce data, including global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The unit requires the ability to perform geodetic calculations, validate the accuracy of data, and identify discrepancies between specifications and actual activities. It also requires using a range of coordinate systems, such as Map Grid of Australia (MGA) and Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA) to manage surveying data.The unit supports those who work under limited supervision in a surveying team.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
