1 Share of the aircraft de-icer installer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electromechanical equipment assembler 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aircraft de-icer installer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electromechanical equipment assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held use power tools handling and moving
already held align components handling and moving
already held fasten components handling and moving
already held conduct performance tests constructing
already held electromechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held liaise with engineers communication, collaboration and creativity

All 16 carried skills, including the 12 the aircraft de-icer installer role treats as required.

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.
