Application

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to assist members of a surveying and spatial information services team by carrying out field support tasks as directed. The unit covers preparing for work by clarifying tasks and equipment to be used, including personal protective equipment (PPE). The unit also covers participating in a range of support activities, including identifying and marking surface positions; and using and storing tools and equipment. It covers restoring the work site after tasks are completed, and checking tools and equipment to report faults or problems. The unit requires the ability to follow instructions and communicate with team members to clarify work tasks, and apply mathematical concepts used for distance measurements and calculations.

The unit supports those who work under direct supervision in a surveying and spatial information services team, in positions relating to field support and administration.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
