Where a bomb disposal technician can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a bomb disposal technician already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Bomb disposal technicians search areas using special equipment such as metal detectors, or using trained animals, for the presence of land mines and bombs, and remove the explosive materials according to safety regulations. After the search for and location of mines and bombs, they disarm them aiming to avoid any risk of detonation, and ensure the area is cleared before disarming and removal procedures.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a bomb disposal technician already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
