6 Perform duties at a skill level which requires: (i) A degree, typically with 2 or more years subsequent relevant experience to consolidate the theories and principles learned; or (ii) A Diploma followed by either the development of specialist expertise or the development of broad knowledge, in technical or administrative fields, typically requiring 4 years subsequent experience. Perform a range of assignments which: Are guided by policy or objectives and, where relevant, by professional standards; Require a conceptual understanding of relevant policies, procedures or systems; and Require interpretation in the application of policy and/or precedent. Some ingenuity in the investigation of a range of operating or design issues may be a key duty at this level. May support academic programs by designing and developing practical experiments and assisting with the development and planning of course work. Solve diverse and unusual problems by analysing information where considerable interpretation of existing regulations, policies or procedures is required. Some discretion to innovate within own function and take responsibility for outcomes. May: (i) Apply theoretical/policy and technical/procedural knowledge to design, diagnose, analyse, review, develop or test complex systems, data, equipment or procedures; (ii) Develop section procedures; (iii) Use considerable technical skills to design equipment to a limited brief or to liaise with equipment users to better define requirements; and/or (iv) Undertake planning involving resource use or develop proposals for resource allocation. General to Broad Direction. Duties arise from role statements, supplemented by assignment allocation as relevant. Within policy, will set medium term priorities and monitor work flows and systems within an area of responsibility (ie. for own position and for a team or section if applicable). May have supervisory responsibility and some line management responsibility for staff performing a set of related functions. May have staff reporting indirectly to the position. Provide authoritative advice in the context of widely varying circumstances. Adapt techniques and interpret or modify procedures to achieve objectives, where any changes are within policy and either their impact is largely restricted to the work unit(s) concerned or they are authorised at higher levels. May provide influential input to policy or systems development on the basis of expertise in the operational aspects of current systems and their impact.
