National Competency Manager Job in Melbourne

10 hours ago

Melbourne, Australia Australasian Railway Association Full time

**Responsibilities**:
**The opportunity**

We own the Rail Industry Worker (RIW) program, a competency management system that aims to minimise the risk of untrained personnel accessing or working on the Australian rail network. The program is a nationally recognised competency management platform that helps organisations meet regulatory requirements by providing full visibility of workers’ health, education, and competency. In 2021, almost 230,000 competencies were awarded to individual cardholders in the program.

More efficient management of these competencies can provide wide ranging benefits for the national rail workforce. As a result, the RIW Program is leading the development of a national framework of standardised roles through the implementation of national matrices.

These matrices outline a minimum set of competencies required to conduct specific work on a rail network and aim to support more flexibility and portability for workers across jurisdictions and rail networks.

**The role**

We have an exciting opportunity for a full time National Competency Manager to lead the management of the identification and development of agreed sets of national competencies for rail roles.

You will also be responsible for the development and execution of an Assessment Framework and the establishment of a national Assessor Role for rail competency recognition.

The role involves management of multiple committees and the ability to reflect outcomes of meetings that can be iterated with committee members as required.

The role is vital to the ongoing expansion and continuing benefits of the RIW program and can provide significant tangible benefits for our industry.
