1 Share of the event electrician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the intelligent lighting 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A event electrician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a intelligent lighting engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held provide power distribution working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held assess power needs management skills
already held store performance equipment handling and moving
already held ensure safety of mobile electrical systems assisting and caring
already held manage technical resources stock management skills
already held work with respect for own safety assisting and caring

All 13 carried skills, including the 6 the event electrician role treats as required.

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.
