46.9/ 100

1 Share of the battery manufacturing technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the battery 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.

Why

Why this move works

A battery manufacturing technician role treats 9 of its required skills as things a battery maintenance technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • electrical engineering
  • ensure equipment maintenance
  • have computer literacy
  • identify process improvements
  • perform product testing
  • production processes

What stands in the way is 8 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A battery manufacturing technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a battery maintenance technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintenance operations engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held remove defective products handling and moving
  • already held safety engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held identify process improvements management skills
  • already held production processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held health and safety in the workplace services

All 12 carried skills, including the 9 the battery manufacturing technician role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 10 missing skills fall into 5 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.

  • required, not held battery testers required
  • required, not held battery formation required
  • required, not held battery components required
  • required, not held materials engineering required
02 natural sciences, mathematics and statistics 1 required, 1 supplementary

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

6 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
