59.7/ 100

1 How much of what an electrical equipment assembler is expected to do is already part of an electrical equipment production supervisor’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 electrical equipment assembler role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

An electrical equipment assembler role treats 10 of its required skills as things an electrical equipment production supervisor already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • electrical discharge
  • electrical equipment regulations
  • electrical wiring diagrams
  • electricity principles
  • inspect quality of products
  • interpret electrical diagrams

What stands in the way is 13 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An electrical equipment assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an electrical equipment production supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manufacture of electrical wire products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held electric motors engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held adjust voltage working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held electric drives engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held electrical machines engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held interpret electrical diagrams information skills

All 27 carried skills, including the 10 the electrical equipment assembler role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 28 missing skills fall into 8 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.

FAQ

Common questions about this move

Can an electrical equipment production supervisor become an electrical equipment assembler?

Yes, and it is a substantial move. An electrical equipment production supervisor already covers 47% of what an electrical equipment assembler is expected to do: 27 skills carry over, 10 of which the electrical equipment assembler role treats as required.

What skills does an electrical equipment production supervisor need to become an electrical equipment assembler?

13 required skills are missing, plus 15 optional ones. They fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by handling and moving. The single most important is attach power cords to electric module.

How hard is the move from electrical equipment production supervisor to electrical equipment assembler?

Its learning distance is 59.7 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.

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.
