They may be responsible for all or some project deliverables, work in teams on aspects of projects, and may liaise with multiple clients. Personnel work under the supervision of an environmental scientist or engineer, site manager or workplace environmental manager.

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/refinements, schedules, budgets and records prepared by the candidate for complex projects/activities they have managed or undertaken review of project progress/final reports prepared by the candidate, including details of their contributions and evaluation of their individual performance (for team projects) feedback from manager and project team members about the candidate’s ability to coordinate and support complex project, and work safely and effectively oral and/or written questions to assess the candidate’s understanding of project management principles and techniques for communicating effectively, managing teams and resolving common project problems observation of the candidate’s interactions with project team 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 environmental sites/projects/programs workplace information management systems, project management procedures and tools. 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. |
