SKILL
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Oral communication
|
- Articulates using specific language suitable for technical, operational and business audiences to convey requirements
- Uses listening and questioning techniques to confirm knowledge
|
|
Reading
|
- Identifies, analyses and evaluates technical installation manuals and other texts to determine regulatory and technical requirements
|
|
Writing
|
- Prepares reports and design solutions in required formats for diverse audiences
- Conveys knowledge of outcomes and alternatives using terminology to present to required personnel
|
|
Planning and organising
|
- Develops plans to manage relatively complex, non-routine tasks with an awareness of how they may contribute to longer term operational and strategic goals
- Takes responsibility for own workload, negotiating some key aspects with others
- Systematically gathers and analyses all required information and evaluates options to make informed decisions
|
|
Problem solving
|
- Uses analytical processes to decide on a course of action, establishing criteria for deciding between options
|
|
Self-management
|
- Recognises and responds to both explicit and implicit organisational procedures and protocols, and legislative and regulatory requirements
- Selects the required form, channel and mode of communication for a specific purpose required to own role
|
|
Technology
|
- Identifies key principles and concepts underpinning the design and operation of digital systems and tools, and applies these when troubleshooting existing technology and when seeking to identify the potential of new technology
|
