Power Utilities National Occupational Standard (NOS) Consultation – Open Now

Why this review matters

NOS describe what an individual needs to do and needs to know to perform a work activity, including the skills, knowledge and understanding required.

The NOS suite requires review to ensure it remains fit for purpose, current, and reflective of real-world working practices. The NOS will be used as building blocks for the revised Electrical Power Engineering Level 5 CBQs when the current one’s lapse at the end of this year, and the review will seek to align the NOS with the Power Industry apprenticeship standards in England.

This NOS suite covers functions involved in installing, upgrading and maintaining power plant and apparatus to achieve the safe and continuous supply of electricity through the transmission and distribution networks.

Relevant roles include substation fitter, overhead lines person and cable jointers
