Level 4 Engineering manufacturing technician v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v1.3 and v1.4 (ST0841)

Occupation overview

The broad purpose of the occupation is to provide specialist technical support for engineers, so that organisations can develop, produce or test new and existing products, processes, or procedures to meet a customer specification in terms of quality, cost and delivery, as efficiently and effectively as possible. 

Engineering manufacturing technicians gather information and data from a range of sources and analyse the information and data. They will make decisions, solve problems and produce, and where applicable update technical documentation, reports or specifications covering areas such as quality, reliability, production schedules and targets, costing or other technical documentation that informs others, either internally or externally, what needs to be done, such as how a product must be designed, manufactured, tested, modified, maintained, stored, transported, commissioned or decommissioned.
