1 How much of what a fisheries assistant engineer is expected to do is already part of a deep-sea fishery worker’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the fisheries assistant engineer role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A fisheries assistant engineer role treats 8 of its required skills as things a deep-sea fishery worker already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships
extinguish fires
fisheries legislation
international regulations for preventing collisions at sea
operate ship rescue machinery
risks associated with undertaking fishing operations

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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries assistant engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a deep-sea fishery worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held operate ship rescue machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held communicate using the global maritime distress and safety system working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held risks associated with undertaking fishing operations agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held quality of fish products agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships business, administration and law
already held fisheries legislation agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the fisheries assistant engineer role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 8 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
