[ Technical GOvernance ]

This should be the top competency requirement for any engineer: a sense of internal governance around our own technical knowledge.  It’s the combination of technical and behavioural expertise.

It’s being professional: knowing – and taking seriously - our responsibilities to stakeholders (including, most importantly in the transmission pipeline world, the public).

Included in this competency is understanding legal obligations and awareness of contractual requirements, and the EA Code of Ethics.

A key part of technical governance is the ability to communicate technical matters to stakeholders.  Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to explain a complex topic in a non-complex way.
