environmental geologisttomine geologist
A environmental geologist already meets 33% of what the mine geologist role asks for. The move turns on 9 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 64.7 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the mine geologist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the environmental geologist 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 · What you already bring
Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine geologist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a environmental geologist background worth leading with.
- already held develop site remediation strategies management skills
- already held advise on mining environmental issues communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held communicate on the environmental impact of mining communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held communicate on minerals issues communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held negotiate land access communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held chemistry natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the mine geologist role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 17 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a mine geologist role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 plan mine operations skill · occupation specific
- 02 advise on geology for mineral extraction skill · sector specific
- 03 deal with pressure from unexpected circumstances skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
