| Electrical/Electronic Assembler Overview | | | Electrical/Electronic Assembler Overview An Electrical/Electronic Assembler works on the repair, installation, modification and inspection of electrical and electronic components and materials. Electrical/Electronic Assemblers assemble components and materials which include wiring harnesses, sensors, and instrument components. Assemblers of the future will have an increased role as electric and electronic components are more heavily utilized in the aircraft platform. Assemblers will require skills in systems integration. Activities of assemblers may also include operating machinery to make or assemble parts and products, assembling parts by hand, setting up equipment and performing minor repairs to items rejected from the production line.The Electrical/Electronic Assembler is thoroughly familiar with safe work practices and the rules and regulations affecting his/her work and work place. The Electrical/Electronic Assembler is involved in the set-up and operation of tools and equipment as well as some semi-automatic processes. The Electrical/Electronic Assembler should possess a high level of manual dexterity and a strong interest in aircraft electrical and electronic components. He/she must be able to work with others cooperatively and follow directives precisely.Certification Requirements To qualify for certification with CAMC, the applicant must possess the necessary knowledge and skills and have successfully completed all the required mandatory tasks and sub-tasks within the logbook. Certification as an Electrical/Electronic Assembler requires that all forty-four (44) specified mandatory tasks, which are indicated with an (M) are successfully completed. In addition, the applicant must have a minimum of twenty-four (24) months on the job experience in the occupation, based on full-time employment. The tasks in the logbook were made as generic as possible to accommodate the largest amount of work environments and equipment/tools but do not necessarily cover all tasks performed by individuals. Evaluator Instructions An Evaluator is an aviation practitioner with experience in the same occupation as the applicant seeking registration; who can attest that the applicant has accomplished the required tasks competently. Evaluators are appointed by the Council based on recommendations by the applicant’s employer. To nominate an individual for evaluator status, the employer must forward a formal letter of nomination to the CAMC Registrar, along with a completed Evaluator Data Form. A resume outlining the individual’s background and experience in the occupation is also required. Individuals approved by the Council to act as evaluators receive a copy of the national occupational standard as well as a certificate and wallet card confirming their status as an evaluator. The duties of the evaluator include:- Supervising the applicant performing the task/subtask.
- Filling in the appropriate Evaluator Data Sheet in the logbook.
- Attesting that the applicant has completed each task/subtask in a satisfactory manner and in compliance with the current standards including:
- Meeting the appropriate knowledge requirements for the level of certification;
- Selecting and properly using the correct tools;
- Performing the task without supervision;
- Completing all necessary documentation.
The evaluator is responsible for ensuring that the applicant meets all of the requirements for certification, including training, experience and knowledge requirement levels to carry out the mandatory tasks and sub-tasks. Any supporting documentation that can attest to the candidates work experience and education (e.g., certificates, diplomas, letter of employment) should be included.
