Release 1 . This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEP Electricity Supply Industry - Generation Sector Training Package Release 2.0.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to undertake scheduled routine work activities in the electricity supply industry (ESI) - large scale wind generation environment.

Routine work activities include undertaking tasks such as the operation of non-critical plant systems, lubricating plant, performing minor maintenance on electrical and mechanical equipment, cleaning plant, performing warehousing stock duties and operating mobile load shifting equipment.

Competency in this unit requires the ability to carry out routine work activities in an electrical supply generation environment - wind. Individuals will work, under supervision, as a maintenance operative in a power generation facility.

The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace.

Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
