Where a synthetic materials engineer can go next

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

Synthetic materials engineers develop new synthetic materials processes or improve existing ones. They design and construct installations and machines for the production of synthetic materials and examine samples of raw materials in order to ensure quality.

Fig. 2 — the 5 nearest destinations from synthetic materials engineer. Distance from the centre is how much retraining the move takes; the figure on each is how much of that role a synthetic materials engineer already covers. All 5 are listed in the tables below.
  • 70% and above · short step
  • 50 to 70% · real move
  • Below 50% · substantial retraining

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a synthetic materials 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.
