engineering processes
The systematic approach to the development and maintenance of engineering systems.
Vessel assembly inspectors use measuring and testing equipment to inspect and monitor boat and ship assemblies to ensure conformity to engineering specifications and to safety standards and regulations. They examine the assemblies to detect malfunction and damage and check repair work. They also provide detailed inspection documentation and recommend action where problems were discovered.

Inspect vessels, vessel components, and equipment; ensure compliance with standards and specifications.
Cross-sector
11 competencesconduct performance tests
Conduct experimental, environmental and operational tests on models, prototypes or on the systems and equipment itself in order to test their strength and capabilities under normal and extreme conditions.
create solutions to problems
Solve problems which arise in planning, prioritising, organising, directing/facilitating action and evaluating performance. Use systematic processes of collecting, analysing, and synthesising information to evaluate current practice and generate new understandings about practice.
inspect quality of products
Use various techniques to ensure the product quality is respecting the quality standards and specifications. Oversee defects, packaging and sendbacks of products to different production departments.
inspect vessel manufacturing
Inspect plants where ships and boats are manufactured to ensure safety and quality control. Ensure that components are manufactured in compliance with safety and design specifications.
manage health and safety standards
Oversee all personnel and processes to comply with health, safety and hygiene standards. Communicate and support alignment of these requirements with the company's health and safety programmes.
operate precision measuring equipment
Measure the size of a processed part when checking and marking it to check if it is up to standard by use of two and three dimensional precision measuring equipment such as a caliper, a micrometer, and a measuring gauge.
read engineering drawings
Read the technical drawings of a product made by the engineer in order to suggest improvements, make models of the product or operate it.
read standard blueprints
Read and comprehend standard blueprints, machine, and process drawings.
use technical documentation
Understand and use technical documentation in the overall technical process.
use testing equipment
Use equipment to test performance and operation of machinery.
write inspection reports

6 competencesaviation meteorology
The scientific field of study that interprets the impact of weather on air traffic management (ATM) and how thorough changes in pressure and temperature values at airports can create variations in head and tail-wind components, and may impose low visibility operating conditions. Knowledge of aviation meteorology can help to reduce negative impact on the ATM system by diminishing disruption and the consequent problems of disturbed flow rates, lost capacity and induced additional costs.
civil aviation regulations
The body of regulations, rules and signals that apply to the field of civil aviation, including marshalling signals.
defense system
The various weapons and weapon systems used to protect citizens and to harm or shield incoming enemies and enemy weapons.
digital camera sensors
Types of sensors used in digital cameras, such as charged coupled devices (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor sensors (CMOS).
