1 Share of the electromechanical engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electrical 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electromechanical engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electrical engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held model electromechanical systems handling and moving
already held assemble electromechanical systems handling and moving
already held test electromechanical systems constructing
already held electric motors engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held design electromechanical systems communication, collaboration and creativity
already held electric drives engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 35 carried skills, including the 26 the electromechanical engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 87 missing skills fall into 13 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.

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.
