This unit of competency has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson – Fabrication apprenticeship training and the recognition of trade-level skills in fabrication, forming and shaping of a wide variety of shapes and products undertaken using a variety of forming and shaping techniques.

Fabrication, forming and shaping is done to specifications interpreted from technical drawings and job specifications using a variety of tools and equipment.

Skills covered by this unit are generally applied in occupational and work situations associated with steel fabrication, boiler making or sheet metal work.

Where heating and thermal cutting is required unit MEM05007 Perform manual heating and thermal cutting should also be selected.

Where marking off/out skills is required unit MEM12007 Mark off/out structural fabrications and shapes should also be selected.

Where welds are required to meet legislative or regulatory requirements appropriate welding units should also be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
