Course Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to conduct a complex engineering set-out survey based on specifications and client requirements. The unit covers analysing specifications and organisational priorities to identify and negotiate projects and organise resources. The unit also covers implementing project management mechanisms relating to scheduling, measuring, recording, monitoring and reporting, and reviewing project progress and outcomes against organisational goals. It covers planning for risks and contingencies and staff supervision, and involves setting up and using specialised surveying equipment to measure, record and reduce surveying data using an established control network and spatial coordinate and reference systems. The unit requires the ability to validate the accuracy of data, and identify and resolve problems.
The unit supports those who work in a technical management role in a surveying team.
