Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage risks that might affect program deliverables and organisational objectives. It covers directing the planning and management of program risks, managing risks to the overall program and assessing risk management outcomes for the program and the organisation.
The unit applies to individuals who are program managers, managing or directing a suite of projects (a program) and/or senior project managers.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to lead teams in the workplace and to actively engage with the management of the organisation.
The unit applies to individuals working at a managerial level who lead and build a positive culture within their work teams. At this level, work will normally be carried out using complex and diverse methods and procedures requiring the exercise of considerable discretion and judgement. It will also involve using a range of problem solving and decision-making strategies.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply safe design principles to control work health and safety (WHS) risks in a product’s life cycle. It involves engaging at different points of the supply chain to provide advice based on safe design principles. The central feature of safe design is the application of relevant information and data about human experience, capabilities and behaviour to the design of objects, facilities, procedures and environments that people use.
The unit applies to those who apply the principles of safe design in their organisation, which may be at one or more stages of the product’s life cycle, including procurement, installation, operation and disposal. Products may refer to plant, tools and equipment. The application of safe design principles aims to eliminate or minimise hazards and their associated risks before an existing product, or a product being developed or modified, is introduced into the workplace.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage civil works design processes, including interpreting and scoping design requirements, monitoring and supporting design processes and reviewing designs.
It applies to those working in management or technical specialist roles. They generally apply a broad range technical and managerial skills and are responsible for the delivery of complex outputs that meet site requirements.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to establish and maintain a quality system in the resources and infrastructure industries.
It applies to those who work in management roles. They are generally responsible for the outcomes of others and contribute to the development of solutions to non-routine problems.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to determine and manage project scope. It involves obtaining project authorisation, developing a scope management plan, and managing the application of project scope controls.
The unit applies to individuals responsible for managing and leading a project in an organisation, business or as a consultant.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to link people, ideas and information at all stages in the project life cycle. Project communication management ensures timely and appropriate generation, collection, dissemination, storage and disposal of project information through formal structures and processes.
The unit applies to individuals responsible for managing and leading a project in an organisation, business, or as a consultant.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to sustain and develop an environment in which continuous improvement, innovation and learning are promoted and rewarded.
The unit applies to individuals with managerial responsibilities who aim to build a better and more effective work environment. Continuous improvement and innovation have links with the model of the learning organisation and people working at this level play an important role in building the culture, values and attitudes of the organisation.

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply functions of computer-aided design (CAD) software programs that are typically used in the production of detail drawings.
This unit is suitable for those working within a CAD or drafting work environment and may be applied across engineering and manufacturing environments. It covers competent use of a CAD program to perform basic drawing tasks used in the development of detail drawings. Drawings may include plans, diagrams, charts, circuits, systems or schematics.
All work is carried out under supervision.

This unit describes a participant’s skills and knowledge required to prepare detailed geotechnical designs in Civil construction.
This unit is appropriate for those working in management roles.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare detailed designs of motorways and interchanges in civil construction, including evaluating design options, preparing and finalising designs and advising on design implementation.
It applies to those working in management or technical specialist roles. They generally apply a broad range technical and managerial skills and are responsible for the delivery of outputs that meet site requirements.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to provide leadership in the supervision of diverse work teams in the resources and infrastructure industries.
It applies to those working in supervisory roles. They are generally responsible for the output of others, contribute to the development of technical solutions to non-routine problems and apply management plans to the workplace.
