Qualification Description

This qualification describes the skills and knowledge of individuals who perform high level technical production roles in a pulping operation. Work activities involve the application of technical skills and detailed knowledge using discretion and judgement. Individuals in these roles are generally pivotal to the production process, providing complex technical advice and support to a team. They would be expected to apply detailed technical knowledge to solve a range of complex problems relating to equipment, process, output and quality. Work would be carried out independently under general or limited supervision.

Job roles

A key focus of the qualification, and therefore vocational outcomes, is on skills for troubleshooting and rectifying production pulping production processes, and will reflect the duties of a senior operator/technician or production specialist in one or more of the following areas:

Pulping operations; waste paper recycling; primary resources operations; stock preparation and handling; fibre preparation.

Co-located job roles

Electricity Generation/Turbine; Steam Generation/Boilerhouse; Water Services; Chemical Recovery; Chemical Preparation.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to some units in this qualification in some states and territories at the time of publication and may differ according to jurisdiction.

Entry Requirements

There are no entry requirements for this qualification.

Packaging Rules

To achieve this qualification, competency must be demonstrated in:

10 units of competency:
