1 Share of the mine rescue officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gas processing plant control room operator 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 mine rescue officer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a gas processing plant control room operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • electricity
  • ensure compliance with safety legislation
  • manage emergency procedures
  • troubleshoot

What stands in the way is 8 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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine rescue officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gas processing plant control room operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage emergency procedures management skills
  • already held ensure compliance with safety legislation assisting and caring
  • already held electricity engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held troubleshoot communication, collaboration and creativity

All 4 carried skills, including the 4 the mine rescue officer role treats as required.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
