What evidence is required to demonstrate competence for this standard as a whole? Competence in planning on-site irrigation system installation and construction work requires evidence that a person can appraise contract documentation and translate this into operational requirements, develop strategies for implementing construction operations, prepare a project schedule and dilapidation report, and determine all the required resources for the project. The skills and knowledge required to plan on-site irrigation system installation and construction work must be transferable to a different work environment. For example, this could include different irrigation systems, crops and enterprise procedures. |
|
What specific knowledge is needed to achieve the performance criteria? | Knowledge and understanding are essential to apply this standard in the workplace, to transfer the skills to other contexts, and to deal with unplanned events. The knowledge requirements for this competency standard are listed below: installation and construction processes for on-site irrigation systems logical construction sequence for the system analysis of the required project resources environmental impacts of irrigation using water from any ground or underground source relevant enterprise OHS and environmental procedures relevant Australian Standards (e.g. AS3500) effect of main soil types on approach to excavation work and installation of irrigation components. |
| |
What specific skills are needed to achieve the performance criteria? | To achieve the performance criteria, appropriate literacy and numeracy levels as well as some complementary skills are required. These include the ability to: analyse contract conditions develop strategies schedule projects determine resources identify adverse environmental impacts of irrigation activities and appropriate remedial/preventative action follow relevant enterprise OHS and environmental procedures. |

What processes should be applied to this competency standard? There are a number of processes that are learnt throughout work and life, which are required in all jobs. They are fundamental processes and generally transferable to other work functions. Some of these are covered by the key competencies, although others may be added. The questions below highlight how these processes are applied in this competency standard. Following each question a number in brackets indicates the level to which the key competency needs to be demonstrated where 0 = not required, 1 = perform the process, 2 = perform and administer the process and 3 = perform, administer and design the process. |
1. How can communication of ideas and information (2) be applied? | Developing project schedules and disseminating information on on-site processes. |
2. How can information be collected, analysed and organised (2)? | Reading and interpreting plans and determining resources. |
3. How are activities planned and organised (2)? | Sequencing installation and construction processes. |
4. How can team work (2) be applied? | Co-ordinating activities with installation and construction teams. |
5. How can the use of mathematical ideas and techniques (2) be applied? | Developing schedules and estimating resource requirements. |
6. How can problem-solving skills (2) be applied? | Analysing project plans, developing schedules and analysing resource requirements. |
7. How can the use of technology (2) be applied? | Using relevant project scheduling and resource management technology. |
