The Glossary: Position Description Action Verbs resource provides a list commonly used action verbs that can be used in Position Descriptions or when detailing competency or capability requirements.

A verb expresses an act or occurrence, and in this context each verb has been defined in the context of an action or area of responsibility in explaining a job task or skill. Using a variety of verbs within a document increases readability and supports user understanding of the competency or capability required.
