1 Share of the marine engineering technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aerospace engineering technician profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A marine engineering technician role treats 14 of its required skills as things a aerospace engineering technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • CAE software
  • ICT software specifications
  • adjust engineering designs
  • engineering principles
  • engineering processes
  • execute analytical mathematical calculations

What stands in the way is 2 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 43 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine engineering technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aerospace engineering technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held stealth technology services
  • already held write stress-strain analysis reports communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform physical stress tests on models information skills
  • already held synthetic natural environment natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held analyse stress resistance of products information skills
  • already held position engine on test stand handling and moving

All 43 carried skills, including the 14 the marine engineering technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 40 missing skills fall into 11 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
