Problem solving	Identify and solve or report problems arising in the course of engine room watchkeeping operations Monitor and anticipate problems that may occur in the course of watchkeeping operations including hazards and risks and take appropriate action (e.g. avoidance of fire and explosion, avoidance of engine room hazards, etc.) Manage hazards and risks in a range of engine room watchkeeping situations, (e.g. engine room hazards, operations in heavy weather and seas, etc.) Use required analysis techniques required when carrying out maintenance program for propulsion, electrical and auxiliary systems in conjunction with the chief engineer and other crew members on the vessel Use mathematics to solve problems such as various calculations related to the operation of propulsion and auxiliary plant and equipment
Initiative and enterprise	Modify activities dependent on differing work situations and contingencies such as changes in the weather and sea conditions, changes in operational performance of plant and equipment and engine room emergencies Take appropriate initiatives in a range of engine room situations such as those above Respond appropriately to any changes in engine room plant, equipment, standard operating procedures and the vessel's working environment
Planning and organising	Follow and apply operational and emergency plans, systems and procedures for the vessel, including the vessel's safety management system and emergency procedures Monitor systems and procedures for compliance with regulations and codes of practice Implement bridge resource management strategy Monitor and evaluate operational performance and compliance Collect, manage and interpret information needed in the course of engine room operations Organise and plan own management activities as engineer watchkeeper on a vessel Manage time and priorities in the course of engine room watchkeeping activities
Self-management	Interpret and apply regulations, survey requirements, standard procedures and codes of practice as they apply to the engine room operations, including OH&S, environmental protection, security and SOLAS requirements Establish and follow own work plans and schedules Evaluate and monitor own work and management performance as engineer watchkeeper
Learning	Contribute to learning and assessment activities on the vessel, including emergency drills, safety and security awareness training, and continuing professional development of crew members Assist crew members to adapt to any changes in the engine room systems, equipment, procedures and the vessel's operating environment (e.g. sea and weather conditions) Assist in the instruction, coaching or mentoring of other crew members on the vessel Contribute to the assessment of the competency of other crew members Assist in the creation of a learning environment on board the vessel Adapt own competency to any changes in the vessel type, its propulsion and auxiliary plant and equipment and its operating environment Update own knowledge and skills required for engine room watchkeeping activities
Technology	Operate engine room systems including vessel's propulsion and auxiliary systems, electrical systems, radio systems, other engine room equipment, etc. Follow and apply operational and maintenance systems for the vessel's hull, propulsion, electrical and auxiliary systems, safety and deck equipment and other facilities on the vessel Follow and apply safety management system and OH&S procedures for use and maintenance of equipment and facilities Carry out the preventative and remedial maintenance procedures for the vessel's hull, propulsion plant, electrical and auxiliary systems, other engine room equipment and tools
