UET20319 Certificate II in ESI - Powerline Vegetation Control

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this qualification in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package

Qualification Description

This qualification provides the skills and knowledge to work in the electricity supply industry (ESI) as a Powerline Vegetation Control Worker. This qualification covers competencies for the operational role of planning and carrying out vegetation control at and above ground level near live electrical apparatus. It also includes complying with relevant legislation, applicable industry guidelines, codes of practices or other related requirements for safe work and access near live electrical and mechanical apparatus. The skills and knowledge described within the units in this qualification may require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace. Additional and/or other conditions may also apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing the qualification.

Entry Requirements

There are no entry requirements for this qualification

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this qualification in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package

Qualification Description

This qualification provides the skill and knowledge to work in the electricity supply industry (ESI) as a Cable Jointer. This qualification covers the laying, installation and maintenance of de-energised low voltage (LV) and high voltage (HV) underground polymeric cables and installation and maintenance of electrical equipment and jointing and maintaining energised LV underground paper insulated and polymeric cables. There are options for skills to be obtained for energised cables and/or LV and HV paper insulated cables. The skills and knowledge described within the units in this qualification may require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace. Additional and/or other conditions may also apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing the qualification.

UET30919 Certificate III in ESI - Remote Community Utilities Worker

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this qualification in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package

Qualification Description

This qualification provides the skill and knowledge to work in the electricity supply industry (ESI) as a Remote Community Utilities Worker. This qualification covers inspecting and maintaining essential public utilities (excluding mine sites) within very remote communities. All work on essential electrical utilities will be undertaken in non-energised (dead) environments other than for testing purposes. The use of support plant and equipment to perform these tasks and environmental requirements also play a part in this job function. Very Remote Communities: Means a community with restricted access and very little accessibility of goods, services and opportunities for social interaction. Supporting information on the classification of a very remote community can be defined using the latest version of Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA). Non-energised (dead): Means prior to the commencement of work, all electrical apparatus is to be isolated. That is for high voltage (HV) (short-circuited and earthed) and for low voltage (LV) (short-circuited to the neutral). The skills and knowledge described within the units in this qualification may require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace. Additional and/or other conditions may also apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing the qualification.

UET40519 Certificate IV in ESI - Power Systems Substations

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this qualification in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package

Qualification Description

This qualification provides the skills and knowledge to work in power system substations in the electricity supply industry (ESI). This qualification covers selecting, installing, setting up, testing, fault finding, repairing and maintaining electrical systems and equipment in buildings and premises. It also provides a career in installation and maintenance of substations, such as the maintenance of high voltage (HV) power system, including circuit breakers and transformers. It includes substation switching, inspection and diagnosing and rectifying faults. Options are available for skills to be obtained in high current direct current (d.c.) switchgear and equipment, installation of HV plant and equipment and/or the maintenance and commissioning of discrete protection and control systems. It includes the Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council (ERAC) requirements for an ‘Electrician’s licence’. Competency development activities in this qualification are subject to regulations directly related to licencing. The skills and knowledge described within the units in this qualification may require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace. Additional and/or other conditions may also apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licencing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing the qualification.

UETTDRIS46 Install and maintain ESI network infrastructure electrical equipment

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package.

Application

This unit covers the installation and maintenance of electrical equipment, such as fuse switches, drop out switches, sectionalisers, links, surge arrestors, gas filled and/or oil filled switches, which are relevant to the transmission, distribution and rail networks. It includes the termination/connection of the equipment in accordance with enterprise requirements, the repair and/or replacement of like-for-like electrical equipment and associated hardware, and sampling of insulating oils. It also encompasses the identification of faults, the relevant pre-commissioning tests involving the equipment/system and the interpretation of these tests against agreed specifications. It excludes the energisation of the equipment maintained in a highly complex, interdependent and interconnected electricity supply network system, where the effects of unintended consequences on the system are high risk and appropriate personnel effect energisation. The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit requires a licence/registration to practice in the workplace subject to regulations for undertaking of electrical work. Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licencing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package.

Application

This unit covers the monitoring of permit to work requests, dispatching personnel, responding to alarms, travel and activity monitoring of field personnel, monitoring work activities of field personnel against work schedule. It also includes contingency skills, response to third-party enquiries, out of hour, response to man down alarm, tracking of field personnel (remote area), monitoring activities on system equipment, monitoring availability of assets (maintain a log), monitor equipment status, coordinating field activities, controlling and authorising field works, and preparing incident reports. The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace subject to regulations for undertaking of electrical work. Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licencing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.

Pre-requisite Unit

To minimise incidents related to safe systems of work, entry into this unit requires at a minimum that an individual has demonstrated or possesses relevant technical engineering discipline competencies of at least AQF level 3. It is intended that an individual will be expected to perform with a large degree of autonomy in decision making, whilst in an individual environment. This may include immediate response to protect human life, adverse effect on safety, security of supply or the integrity of the assets. NOTE: Typically the following disciplines provide direct entry; electrical or instrumentation, fitting and turning or mechanical trade. Where an individual does not possess or demonstrate the requisite entry requirement, an equivalent bridging program should be used to ensure equivalence of entry.
