1 Share of the component engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the compliance 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 component engineer role treats 10 of its required skills as things a compliance engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • define technical requirements
  • engineering principles
  • engineering processes
  • interpret technical requirements
  • manage engineering project
  • manufacturing processes

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held interpret technical requirements information skills
  • already held manage engineering project management skills
  • already held define technical requirements management skills
  • already held analyse production processes for improvement information skills
  • already held mechanical engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing processes engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 15 carried skills, including the 10 the component engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 28 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.
