1 Share of the intelligent lighting engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the audio production 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 intelligent lighting engineer role treats 17 of its required skills as things a audio production technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt to artists' creative demands
  • assess power needs
  • de-rig electronic equipment
  • follow safety procedures when working at heights
  • keep up with trends
  • pack electronic equipment

What stands in the way is 9 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 33 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A intelligent lighting engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a audio production technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held provide power distribution working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manage signoff of an installed system management skills
  • already held de-rig electronic equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held maintain system layout for a production communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assess power needs management skills
  • already held consult with stakeholders on implementation of a production communication, collaboration and creativity

All 33 carried skills, including the 17 the intelligent lighting engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 18 missing skills fall into 7 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.
