2 The complexity of technical detail could include:
2.1 Pneumatic schematics
2.2 Process & instrumentation diagrams (P&ID's)
2.3 Hydraulic schematics

3 The technical problems and issues will vary from solving simple single line diagrams to more complex drawings and specifications provided by the manufacture.

4 The use and interpretation of information

5 The type and complexity of technical sources


Scope Knowledge

The Knowledge and Understanding levels expressed indicate the minimum level of knowledge and understanding sufficient to perform your role in a manner that would normally be associated with the minimum acceptable performance of a competent person undertaking your role.

The expression ”working knowledge and understanding” indicates you are able to:
