Producing technical details for aeronautical engineering activities

SEMAE3190
Producing technical details for aeronautical engineering
activities
Overview
This standard identifies the competences you need to produce technical details
for aeronautical engineering activities, in accordance with approved
procedures. The scope of the standard requires you to produce technical
details in the correct form for engineering activities to take place, and to pass
them on to the appropriate people within agreed timescales, whilst ensuring
that the activities within your control conform to organisational and legal
requirements.
Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and
procedures for producing the technical details. You will report any problems
that you cannot personally resolve, or that are outside your permitted authority,
to the relevant people. You will be expected to work with a minimum of
supervision, taking personal responsibility for your own actions and for the
quality and accuracy of the work that you carry out.
Your underpinning knowledge will provide a good understanding of your work
and will provide an informed approach to gathering appropriate information,
determining the technical information required and presenting the required
details in the required formats. You will understand your organisation's methods
of operation in sufficient detail to enable you to make informed decisions.
You will be aware of any health, safety and environmental requirements
applicable to your area of responsibility. You will be required to demonstrate
safe working practices throughout and will understand the responsibility you
owe to yourself and others in the workplace.
