1 Share of the electronic equipment inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the commissioning 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 electronic equipment inspector role treats 6 of its required skills as things a commissioning engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse test data
  • ensure conformity to specifications
  • quality assurance procedures
  • read standard blueprints
  • use measurement instruments
  • use testing equipment

What stands in the way is 14 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electronic equipment inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a commissioning engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held check system parameters against reference values information skills
  • already held ensure conformity to specifications assisting and caring
  • already held quality assurance procedures business, administration and law
  • already held analyse test data information skills
  • already held use measurement instruments working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held use testing equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 7 carried skills, including the 6 the electronic equipment inspector role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 29 missing skills fall into 8 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.

12 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.
