1 Share of the rolling stock electrician 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.

Why

Why this move works

A rolling stock electrician role treats 14 of its required skills as things a electromechanical equipment assembler already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

apply health and safety standards
electrical wiring plans
electricity
electronics
fasten components
install electrical and electronic equipment

What stands in the way is 3 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A rolling stock electrician 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 test electronic units constructing
already held install electrical and electronic equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held apply soldering techniques constructing
already held electrical wiring plans engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held fasten components handling and moving
already held maintain electrical equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 19 carried skills, including the 14 the rolling stock electrician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 15 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
