Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the ability to oversee the day-to-day environmental remediation or rehabilitation activities at a site in accordance with an established management plan. Personnel assist with the planning and implementation of specific remediation or rehabilitation activities, liaise with contractors and consultants, and monitor both the progress and effectiveness of the activities. They work under the supervision of an environmental scientist or engineer, site manager or workplace environmental manager.This unit of competency is applicable to environmental site coordinators, environmental managers and senior environmental officers working in a range of industry sectors, such as environmental monitoring, sampling and field testing (e.g. air, water, soil and noise); geotechnical services; natural resource management (e.g. wetlands); landfill management; site remediation or rehabilitation services (e.g. mine, construction and industrial). Note that the term ‘manager’ is used to refer to management of a function, project and /or program and does not necessarily imply line management.While no specific licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication, environmental monitoring and management activities are governed by relevant legislation, regulations and/or external accreditation requirements. Local requirements should be checked. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Judgement of competence must be based on holistic assessment of the evidence. Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time, rather than a single assessment event. This unit of competency is to be assessed in the workplace, or a simulated workplace environment. A simulated workplace environment must reflect realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including the environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept in each case). Holistic assessment methods include: review of plans, records, outcomes and reports prepared by the candidate about site remediation/rehabilitation activities they have coordinated feedback from manager, site personnel and/or community members about the candidate’s ability to effectively coordinate remediation or rehabilitation activities oral and/or written questions to assess the candidate’s understanding of remediation/rehabilitation principles, project management and problem-solving strategies, environmental parameters, analytical tests and flora and fauna surveys used to monitor the effectiveness of site remediation/rehabilitation observation of the candidate’s interactions with site personnel and/or community members. Access is required to all instruments, equipment, materials, workplace documentation, procedures and specifications associated with this unit including, but not limited to: background information for site and remediation/rehabilitation projects/programs workplace environmental management plans and procedures, control measures and management actions for site activities, project management tools and workplace information management systems. Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator. The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency. Technical competence can be demonstrated through: relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR relevant workplace experience Currency can be demonstrated through: performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR having consulted with an organisation providing environmental monitoring, management or technology related services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months. |
