• completing the following tasks according to job requirements:
• three longitudinal joints of at least 100 metres to be constructed to required thickness, uniformity, line and level, on both matching and unsupported edges
• five occasions of straight paving, including one of at least 100 metres, to required thickness, uniformity, line and level, on both matching and unsupported edges
• one intersection to required thickness, uniformity, line and level, on both matching and unsupported edges
• conducting these operations using at least two different material types or surface types across the two or more occasions, including:
• no-fines concrete
• kerb and gutter
• base
• sub-base
• type F barrier
• shoulder
• continuous reinforced concrete pavement
• completing formations within specified lateral tilt values
• mixing and spreading granular materials
