Energy & Utility Skills invites employers, training providers and professional bodies to review the revised Utility Management Skills National Occupational Standards (NOS). The suite, covering all utilities, covers the planning, installation, operation, maintenance and resolution of incidents on utilities networks. This includes:
- Planning and delivering utility network installation, network operation and maintenance.
- Investigating and resolving incidents.
- Managing schedules, resources, people, budgets and delivery of outputs.
NOS describe what an individual needs to do and needs to know to perform a work activity, including the skills, knowledge and understanding required. They can be applied across the UK and are used in the development of in-house training programmes, plus they are a key component for qualifications and apprenticeship frameworks.
