1 Share of the production plant crane operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the briquetting machine operator 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 production plant crane operator role treats 2 of its required skills as things a briquetting machine operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply various lifting techniques
  • follow safety procedures when working at heights

What stands in the way is 7 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 production plant crane operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a briquetting machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held apply various lifting techniques handling and moving
  • already held maximise efficiency of crane operations management skills
  • already held guide cranes working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform minor repairs to equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held advise on machinery malfunctions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held follow safety procedures when working at heights assisting and caring

All 6 carried skills, including the 2 the production plant crane operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 23 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.

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.
