Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan and prepare work, coordinate and allocate work tasks to the team, the completion of work documentation and the reporting on status of completion. Individuals will, in general, work as an operator, in a power generation facility.

Power generation plant operators are typically trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Note: Workplace practice
