Abstract

This study proposes that a diving supervisor, who can perform the role of both a field manager and a supervisor, be introduced in the national qualification system. The goal was achieved by surveying the general status of the commercial diving sector, including the statistics of an underwater construction company, commercial diving equipment operation condition, diver working hours, diver supply and demand status, and underwater construction market size. The national qualification and national competency standard (NCS) systems were also analyzed to deduce the role definition and work scope of the diving supervisor. Consequently, the following proposition is made: the diving supervisor should be an "on-site manager with the highest job skill in the commercial diving field, who can perform the on-site process management as well as guide, supervise, and educate project participants and serve as an intermediary between the contractor and the workers." The responsibilities of the diving supervisor are proposed to include "diving planning and operation of the diving team," "diving with surface-supplied air and mixed-gas diving system," "chamber operation," "underwater construction," and "ship salvage." The persistent issues in commercial diving sectors, such as diver career development, management, and worker supervision, are expected to be largely resolved with the introduction of this qualification.

본 연구에서는 산업 잠수 분야의 현장 책임자 겸 관리 감독자 역할을 할 수 있는 잠수기능장 직책을 국가자격제도로 도입할 것을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 수중전문건설업체 현황, 산업 잠수 장비 운용 실태, 잠수사 근로시간, 인력 수급 현황, 수중전문건설업 시장 현황 등 산업 잠수 분야의 전반적인 현황을 조사하였고, 국가자격체계와 NCS(National Competency Standards) 체계를 분석하여 잠수기능장의 직무 정의와 범위를 도출하였다. 그 결과 산업 잠수 분야의 잠수기능장 자격은 '산업 잠수에 관한 최상급 숙련 기능을 가지고 산업현장에서 공정관리, 소속 기능 인력의 지도 및 감독, 현장교육, 사업주와 기능 인력을 유기적으로 연계시켜주는 현장 관리자로서의 역할을 수행하는 직무'로 정의하고, 잠수기능장의 직무 내용은 '잠수계획수립 및 잠수팀 운영', '표면공급식 공기 혼합기체잠수', '기압조절실 운용', '수중토목', '해난구조' 로 구성하도록 제안하였다. 이 종목이 도입되면 그 동안 관련 분야 종사자들 사이에서 이슈가 되어 왔던 경력 개발을 비롯하여 직급의 관리 감독 등 많은 문제점들을 해소할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
