Where a hydropower engineer can go next

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

Hydropower engineers research, design and plan the building of facilities that generate electricity from the movement of water. They search optimal locations, conduct trials and try different materials to achieve the best result. Hydropower engineers develop strategies for more efficient energy production and analyse environmental consequences.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a hydropower engineer 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.
