Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to provide operational expertise to a project team. It applies to discrete projects for new facility, expansion or other major works.This unit of competency applies to senior technicians or those in similar roles who are required to apply in-depth knowledge of process and plant operations and problem solving in order to review project design for safety and operability considerations, provide advice on the operational requirements and implications of the project, and prepare operator training materials and operation procedures.The provision of operations expertise to a project team provides a critical, practical link to the operational requirements of the planned works. Project teams usually comprise engineers with various technical specialisations (e.g. process, mechanical, electrical and control,) and project managers.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
