Description
This qualification reflects the role of an operator in the telecommunications industry who can apply a broad range of competencies in a varied work context from installation and maintenance of telecommunications equipment mounted on structures requiring rigging skills.
This role includes assessing installation requirements, planning and performing installations, testing installed equipment and fault-finding. It involves a degree of autonomy and may include some supervision of others involving known routines and procedures and some accountability for the quality of outcomes in a specialised area of installation of telecommunication equipment on high structures, including radio towers.
This qualification prepares an individual for entry to the industry into the mainstream of telecommunications convergence technologies of radio, optical, data and internet protocol (IP) networks.
An operator uses rigging skills to install and maintain radio antennas on radio towers and build and mount sections of radio masts for a complete radio structure.
Job roles
Job roles and titles vary across different sectors of the industry. Possible job titles relevant to this qualification include:
- installer of telecommunications network equipment on structures
- installer of radio equipment and cabling on radio towers
- maintainer and tester of telecommunications radio network equipment on structures
- telecommunications rigger technician.
Pathways Information

Licensing/Regulatory Information
Cabling
All training programs must be conducted with the reference to the regulatory regime of the prevailing statutory authority (currently ACMA).
National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work
The National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work applies to persons performing dogging and rigging work. Completion of the following units is required for certification at either basic, intermediate or advanced levels.
- CPCCLDG3001A Licence to perform dogging
- CPCCLRG3001A Licence to perform rigging basic level
- CPCCLRG3002A Licence to perform rigging intermediate level
- CPCCLRG4001A Licence to perform rigging advanced level
National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work
Some cabling and installation work may fall within the definition of construction work. If so, people entering the construction site are required to complete the general induction training program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction Training for Construction Work (Australian Safety Compensation Council, May 2007).
Achievement of the unit CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry from the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package fulfils this requirement.
Volume of learning
The volume of learning of a Certificate III is typically 1-2 years.
Up to 4 years may be required to achieve the learning outcomes through a program of indentured training/employment.
