DESCRIPTION 

Learning

• Monitors outcomes of decisions and results and identifies key concepts and principles that may be adaptable in the future

Oral communication

• Articulates information and requirements, using effective communication techniques and industry standard technical language intended for audience and environment

Reading

• Interprets, and critically analyses, complex texts and applies the required strategies to construct meaning from complex texts

Writing

• Prepares complex workplace documentation detailing processes and outcomes using required structure, layout and technical programming language
• Writes and edits code and technical data in a logical manner using required syntax

Planning and organising

• Accepts responsibility for planning and sequencing complex tasks and workload, negotiating key aspects with others, including required capabilities, efficiencies and effectiveness

Problem solving

• Uses systematic, analytical processes in complex, non-routine situations, setting goals, gathering relevant information, and identifying, and evaluating, options against the agreed criteria
• Uses analytical processes to decide on a course of action, establishing the criteria for deciding between options

Self-management

• Uses systematic processes, setting goals, gathering required information and identifying and evaluating options against agreed criteria

Technology

• Understands the key principles and concepts, underpinning the design and operation of digital systems and tools
