S KILL 

D ESCRIPTION 

Reading

  • Interprets complex technical and operational documentation to determine and confirm job requirements

Writing

  • Prepares complex documentation conveying completed developments using detailed language
  • Writes and edits code and technical data in a logical manner using required syntax and language

Oral Communication

  • Uses listening and questioning techniques to confirm requirements and articulate complex concepts and matters using relevant industry for intended audience

Self-management

  • Demonstrates a sophisticated knowledge of principles, concepts, language and practices associated with the digital world and uses them to troubleshoot and understand the uses and potential of new technology
  • Demonstrates knowledge of the importance of monitoring and controlling access to digitally stored and transmitted information

Planning and organising

  • Uses a broad range of strategies to store, access and organise virtual information and demonstrates the knowledge that design choices will influence what information is retrieved and how it is interpreted and used

Problem solving

  • Uses a mix of intuitive and formal processes to identify key information and issues, evaluate alternative strategies, anticipate consequences and consider implementation issues and contingencies
  • Uses knowledge of context to address common problems in operating a web service and a cloud computing application and performs basic debugging when required
