1 Share of the agricultural equipment design engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the container equipment design 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 agricultural equipment design engineer role treats 19 of its required skills as things a container equipment design engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • CAD software
  • adjust engineering designs
  • approve engineering design
  • engineering principles
  • engineering processes
  • execute feasibility study

What stands in the way is 6 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 34 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A agricultural equipment design engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a container equipment design engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held determine production capacity information skills
  • already held reverse engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held determine production feasibility information skills
  • already held monitor production developments information skills
  • already held use computer-aided engineering systems working with computers
  • already held plan manufacturing processes management skills

All 34 carried skills, including the 19 the agricultural equipment design engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 13 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.
