Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes & performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
*supervise civil works contractors on at least two occasions, including:
*preparing a job plan that is to include:

• human resource requirements
• plant and machinery requirements
• construction materials requirements
• sub-contractor support requirements
• waste disposal requirements
• coordination requirements
• activity scheduling
• materials delivery scheduling
• risk assessment and management requirements
• work health and safety requirements
• quality management requirements, including testing scheduling requirements
• traffic management requirements
• environmental requirements
