1 Share of the gas scheduling representative role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gas distribution 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.

Why

Why this move works

A gas scheduling representative role treats 11 of its required skills as things a gas distribution engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt energy distribution schedules
  • comply with pipeline transport regulations
  • ensure compliance with gas distribution schedule
  • ensure regulatory compliance in pipeline infrastructures
  • fuel distribution systems
  • fuel gas

What stands in the way is 1 required skill 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gas scheduling representative role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gas distribution engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop gas distribution schedule management skills
  • already held report on fuel distribution incidents information skills
  • already held supervise gas distribution operations management skills
  • already held ensure compliance with gas distribution schedule information skills
  • already held fuel distribution systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held gas consumption engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 16 carried skills, including the 11 the gas scheduling representative role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 8 missing skills fall into 4 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.

01 management skills 1 required
  • required, not held perform follow-up on pipeline route services required
02 information skills 4 supplementary
  • optional, not held analyse route possibilities in pipeline projects 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.
