1 Share of the aviation ground systems engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aviation surveillance and code coordination manager 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 aviation ground systems engineer role treats 9 of its required skills as things a aviation surveillance and code coordination manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • airport electrical systems
  • airport safety regulations
  • apply airport standards and regulations
  • global navigation satellite system performance parameters
  • interact with airport stakeholders
  • supervise maintenance activities in airports

What stands in the way is 16 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aviation ground systems engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aviation surveillance and code coordination manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held airport electrical systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held supervise maintenance activities in airports management skills
  • already held interact with airport stakeholders communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held global navigation satellite system performance parameters natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held airport safety regulations services
  • already held apply airport standards and regulations assisting and caring

All 10 carried skills, including the 9 the aviation ground systems engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 18 missing skills fall into 9 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.

6 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
