1 Share of the gas scheduling representative role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gas transmission system 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 gas scheduling representative role treats 9 of its required skills as things a gas transmission system operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with pipeline transport regulations
  • ensure compliance with gas distribution schedule
  • ensure regulatory compliance in pipeline infrastructures
  • fuel distribution systems
  • fuel gas
  • mitigate environmental impact of pipeline projects

What stands in the way is 3 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 15 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 transmission system operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held supervise gas distribution operations management skills
  • already held ensure maintenance of fuel distribution facilities assisting and caring
  • already held ensure compliance with gas distribution schedule information skills
  • already held fuel distribution systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held analyse route possibilities in pipeline projects information skills
  • already held perform pipeline routing studies information skills

All 15 carried skills, including the 9 the gas scheduling representative role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 9 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.

1 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.
