Underpinning principles

• Sound understanding of Drive systems, electricity, sensors, switching technology, machinery safety and risk assessment.

Legislation, Regulations and Standards

• Understanding of relevant UK and international standards, technical and environmental legislation including health & safety, environmental protection and working with electrical circuits.
• Knowledge of industry Codes of Practice and other sources of up to date information and advice on technical safety and legislative aspects of their work: BS EN 16005:2012, BS7036 1996 Parts 1-5, BS7036-0 2014.

Data analysis

• Ability to understand assembly diagrams and architectural drawings, calculations for door speeds and energy levels, force gauges, charts, door settings and tables.

System fundamentals

• Understanding of the function and operation of door system components and how they interact in a range of different systems and applications.

Control circuit application

• Electrical wiring and control systems setting, testing and fault finding; and their integration with motors, control boards and safety sensors applicable to powered pedestrian doors.

Mechanical operations

• Measuring building openings and correctly positioning and fixing the door components and automatic drive unit. Connecting, adjusting and testing the installed system and relevant activation and safety sensors.
• Appropriate selection and correct use of hand and power tools: drills, laser level, powered saws, socket set, multi meter.

Safe working practices

• Dynamic hazards analysis and risk assessment during the working process, installation, commissioning, testing, fault diagnostics and servicing of powered pedestrian doors.
• Working with mechanical, electrical circuits and systems.
• Within the process of decommissioning and dismantling powered pedestrian doors - the safe disposal of equipment and waste transfer.

Data application

• Ability to interpret and apply door systems safety data using charts, tables and formulae. Ensuring maximum door speeds and kinetic energy levels are not exceeded.

Logical problem solver

• Employs systematic processes, and a logical approach to problem solving and technical challenges within powered pedestrian door applications.

Personal responsibility

• Takes responsibility for personal presentation, work and interactions with colleagues, customers, suppliers and subcontractors.

Self- motivated

• Willingness to learn and commitment to professional development and to applying principles of sound engineering.

Safety approach

• Self-disciplined approach to assessing, managing, mitigating and avoiding risk in a variety of situations to themselves, colleagues, the public and the environment.

Strong work ethic

• Positive ethical attitude and behaviours including reliability, willingness to take responsibility. Commitment to completing tasks and ability to work as part of a multi-disciplined team.

Focus on quality

• Attention to detail, following procedures, planning and preparation.

Adaptable

• Able to adapt to changes in conditions, technologies, situations and a wide variety of different working environments.

Communicates well

• Uses a range of communications methods effectively, positively and in timely fashion.
