fisheries engineering techniciantofisheries assistant engineer
A fisheries engineering technician already meets 56% of what the fisheries assistant engineer role asks for. The move turns on 6 required skills not yet in the profile.
56%
42.9/ 100
1 Share of the fisheries assistant engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fisheries engineering technician 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 this move works
A fisheries assistant engineer role treats 8 of its required skills as things a fisheries engineering technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships
- extinguish fires
- fisheries legislation
- fishing vessels
- international regulations for preventing collisions at sea
- pollution prevention
What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries assistant engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries engineering technician background worth leading with.
- already held quality of fish products agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held fishing vessels agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships business, administration and law
- already held fisheries legislation agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held international regulations for preventing collisions at sea business, administration and law
- already held survive at sea in the event of ship abandonment assisting and caring
All 11 carried skills, including the 8 the fisheries assistant engineer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 9 missing skills fall into 6 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.
- required, not held operate ship propulsion system required
- required, not held operate ship rescue machinery required
- optional, not held communicate using the global maritime distress and safety system optional
- required, not held manage ship emergency plans required
- required, not held coordinate fire fighting required
- required, not held risks associated with undertaking fishing operations required
- required, not held prevent sea pollution required
- optional, not held train employees optional
- optional, not held assessment of risks and threats optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a fisheries assistant engineer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 manage ship emergency plans skill · sector specific
- 02 operate ship propulsion system skill · sector specific
- 03 operate ship rescue machinery skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

2 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice
Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.
- required, not held risks associated with undertaking fishing operations required
- optional, not held assessment of risks and threats optional

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.
