40517 Supervise Mobile Operations

This standard recognises the skills required to supervise a safe mobile operation on the road reserve.

It builds on the foundations of 40232 Perform Mobile Operations, and develops the skills to coordinate and lead onsite mobile traffic management operations.

General Overview

This is a supervisory level standard. It’s designed for workers who have the responsibility to coordinate and lead onsite mobile operations.  

It also replaces the previous NZTA Mobile STMS warrant.

Mobile operations can include:

  • Mobile plant operators e.g. graders, sweepers
  • Roadmarking crews
  • Weed spraying & vegetation control
  • Pavement testing
  • Kerbside collection services
  • TTM crews involved in mobile operations

 

This workshop builds on skill standard 40232 Perform Mobile Operations.

Upon successful completion of this workshop, trainees will be able to:

  • Prepare for a mobile operation on the road reserve.
  • Supervise a mobile operation on the road reserve.
  • This is a supervisory-level course. It is aimed at NZQA Level 4, which means trainees need to understand underpinning concepts and key principles, and be able to perform moderately complex or unfamiliar activities.  
  • There are no formal pre-requisites, however it is highly recommended that trainees complete the following prior to enrolling:  
  • Trainees should have access to a workplace where these skills are being practiced. Please get in touch with us to discuss if you don’t. 
  • Vehicles
    • Mobile operations require multiple vehicles. Trainees will need to provide one vehicle.
    • The additional vehicles for the mobile operation are supplied by Trilogy Training.
    • The trainee vehicle does not need to be a TTM sign truck – a ute, SUV, light truck or other work vehicle are all suitable. Small cars are not suitable.
    • Trilogy Training will supply vehicle signage and a roof mounted beacon for the trainee vehicle, if required.  
    • If the trainee cannot supply a vehicle, Trilogy Training can supply one for them at an additional cost.
  • Driver licence
    • Where a trainee is operating a vehicle themselves, they must have a valid driver licence for that vehicle type.
    • If the trainee is not able, or prefers not to, operate the vehicle themselves they need to provide an appropriately licenced driver to drive on their behalf, who they will instruct. Please discuss with our team prior to enrolment if this is required.
    • Trilogy Training vehicles are Class 1.
  • Once achieved, Skill Standard 40517 will remain on the trainee’s NZQA Record of Achievement for life.
  • Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA), ongoing training and competency verification is required.
