1 Share of the industrial machinery assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the industrial machinery mechanic 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 industrial machinery assembler role treats 7 of its required skills as things a industrial machinery mechanic already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • consult technical resources
  • inspect industrial equipment
  • mechanics
  • operate welding equipment
  • perform maintenance on installed equipment
  • perform test run

What stands in the way is 4 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A industrial machinery assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a industrial machinery mechanic background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manufacturing of office equipment engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of pumps and compressors engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of taps and valves services
  • already held operate industrial equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held inspect industrial equipment constructing
  • already held solve technical problems working with computers

All 17 carried skills, including the 7 the industrial machinery assembler role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 14 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.

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.
