1 Share of the fisheries boatmaster role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fisheries assistant 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries boatmaster role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries assistant engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage ship emergency plans management skills
  • already held coordinate fire fighting management skills
  • already held operate ship propulsion system working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate ship rescue machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held communicate using the global maritime distress and safety system working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prevent sea pollution assisting and caring

All 19 carried skills, including the 18 the fisheries boatmaster role treats as required.

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.
