Further details can be found here.

In addition to the Sewerage NOS, the team are currently reviewing the following NOS suites and are asking industry to get involved.

Utility Management Skills

After numerous industry workshops, it’s been agreed the suite will cover the managing, planning, installation, operation, maintenance and resolution of incident on the utilities networks.

Utility Network Design (previously Gas Network Engineering Management)

Following our initial review, it was identified that the original Gas Network Engineering Management suite lacked gas specific activities. With agreement from industry representatives, the suite will now become Utility Design Network, covering the design of utility networks.
