1 Share of the battery test technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the battery system engineer 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 test technician role treats 5 of its required skills as things a battery system engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse test data
  • battery chemistry
  • battery design
  • battery management systems
  • perform product testing

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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A battery test technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a battery system engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held battery design engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held battery management systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held battery chemistry natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held perform product testing information skills
  • already held analyse test data information skills
  • already held electrical engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the battery test technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 34 missing skills fall into 10 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.
