Application
This unit describes the skills required to command, lead and manage an engineering organisation of up to thirty personnel on operations. Command is the authority a commander in the military service lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of rank or assignment.
It includes the skills and knowledge required to lead and manage under extreme conditions in a high risk environment. It therefore requires individuals to be incisive in a fluid and demanding environment, to act independently, and to lead by example.
This unit applies to land engineering personnel required to deploy in an operational environment.
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 and lead a team under direct and/or indirect supervision. They use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform routine tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
