Calculate and determine the functional, physical, structural, geometrical and size dimensions for the parts necessary to create machines or equipment.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

adjust engineering designs

Adjust designs of products or parts of products so that they meet requirements.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

advise on manufacturing problems

Advise the visited industrial plants on how to better oversee production to ensure that the manufacturing problems are correctly diagnosed and solved.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

analyse test data

Interpret and analyse data collected during testing in order to formulate conclusions, new insights or solutions.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

collaborate with engineers

Work closely and communicate with engineers on designs or new products.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

conduct routine machinery checks

Check machinery and equipment to ensure reliable performance during use and operations in worksites.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

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.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

perform maintenance on installed equipment

Perform the maintenance on installed equipment on-site. Follow procedures to avoid uninstalling equipment from machinery or vehicles.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

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.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

record test data

Record data which has been identified specifically during preceding tests in order to verify that outputs of the test produce specific results or to review the reaction of the subject under exceptional or unusual input.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

resolve equipment malfunctions

Identify, report and repair equipment damage and malfunctions. Communicate with field representatives and manufacturers to obtain repair and replacement components.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

troubleshoot

Identify operating problems, decide what to do about it and report accordingly.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

blueprints

Must be able to read and understand blueprints, drawings and plans and maintain simple written records.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

CAD software

The computer-aided design (CAD) software for creating, modifying, analysing or optimising a design.

digital

Scope note

CAD software should be differentiated from computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) software. CADD systems are CAD systems with additional drafting features. For example, CADD systems enable an engineer or architect to insert size annotations and other notes into a design.

mathematics

Mathematics is the study of topics such as quantity, structure, space, and change. It involves the identification of patterns and formulating new conjectures based on them. Mathematicians strive to prove the truth or falsity of these conjectures. There are many fields of mathematics, some of which are widely used for practical applications.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

mechanics

Theoretical and practical applications of the science studying the action of displacements and forces on physical bodies to the development of machinery and mechanical devices.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

analyse production processes for improvement

Analyse production processes leading toward improvement. Analyse in order to reduce production losses and overall manufacturing costs.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

assess operating cost

Estimate the operating cost in terms of manpower, consumables and maintenance.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

create technical plans

Create detailed technical plans of machinery, equipment, tools and other products.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

manage supplies

Monitor and control the flow of supplies that includes the purchase, storage and movement of the required quality of raw materials, and also work-in-progress inventory. Manage supply chain activities and synchronise supply with demand of production and customer.
