This qualification recognises the skills and knowledge of a senior roadmarking operator.
The holder of this qualification will be able to demonstrate knowledge of materials, processes and specifications for complex roadmarking work. They will be able to manage health, safety, and environmental requirements; apply sustainable environmental management practices; utilise roadmarking maps and plans for plant operation; perform complex industry calculations; set out complex roadmarking work; and supervise and manage projects in the roadmarking industry.
In recognition of the dangers involved with the roadmarking environment, the holder of this qualification will also complete a choice of standards related to health, safety, environment, and/or occupational health and safety practice. They will also have to demonstrate expertise in the handling and use of long-life roadmarking products, or in paint marking.
Senior roadmarking operators may have a range of additional skills and knowledge recognised through optional strands in Temporary Traffic Management on Level 2 and
Level 3 Roads, Testing Pavement Marking, Testing Transit New Zealand T/8, and Testing
Transit New Zealand T/12. The optional strand in Temporary Traffic Management on
Level 2 and Level 3 roads is also found in the National Certificate in Roadmarking
(Operator) with strands in A-Type Applicator, and B-Type Applicator; and optional strands
[Ref: 1303], as this role may be undertaken at either level.
For individuals following a structured industry career pathway, this qualification builds on the National Certificate in Roadmarking (Assistant) with optional strands [Ref: 1301] and the National Certificate in Roadmarking (Operator) with strands in A-Type Applicator, and
B-Type Applicator, and optional strands [Ref: 1303]. Please refer to the Qualification
Pathway for Roadmarking at the end of this document for further information.
This qualification replaced the National Certificate in Roadmarking (Skilled Operator) with optional strands in Long-life Products, Extruded Thermoplastics, Screeded
Thermoplastics, Sprayed Thermoplastics, and Testing [Ref: 0617].
