1 Share of the street lighting electrician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cable jointer 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 street lighting electrician role treats 9 of its required skills as things a cable jointer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • electric current
  • electrical discharge
  • electrical power safety regulations
  • inspect underground power cables
  • install power lines
  • repair underground power cables

What stands in the way is 3 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A street lighting electrician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cable jointer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held install power lines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held repair overhead power lines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held repair underground power cables working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held inspect overhead power lines constructing
  • already held inspect underground power cables constructing
  • already held transmission towers engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 19 carried skills, including the 9 the street lighting electrician role treats as required.

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.
