airport maintenance techniciantoairport chief executive
A airport maintenance technician already meets 25% of what the airport chief executive role asks for. The move turns on 20 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 78.5 of 100 · career change
1 Share of the airport chief executive role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the airport maintenance 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.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A airport chief executive role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a airport maintenance technician background worth leading with.

- already held ensure functionality of airport lighting systems working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held airport electrical systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held interact with airport stakeholders communication, collaboration and creativity

All 10 carried skills, including the 6 the airport chief executive role treats as required.

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.
