1 Share of the heat treatment furnace operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the coking furnace 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A heat treatment furnace operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a coking furnace operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate heat treatment furnace working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held record furnace operations information skills
  • already held process incident reports for prevention information skills
  • already held extract materials from furnace working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held load materials into furnace handling and moving
  • already held ensure health and safety in manufacturing assisting and caring

All 9 carried skills, including the 6 the heat treatment furnace operator role treats as required.

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.
