1 Share of the container equipment assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the greaser 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 container equipment assembler role treats 5 of its required skills as things a greaser already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

consult technical resources
perform test run
secure working area
technical drawings
wear appropriate protective gear

What stands in the way is 7 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A container equipment assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a greaser background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held perform maintenance on installed equipment constructing
already held secure working area assisting and caring
already held technical drawings engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held consult technical resources information skills
already held read standard blueprints information skills
already held wear appropriate protective gear assisting and caring

All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the container equipment assembler role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 28 missing skills fall into 7 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.

4 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.
