1 Share of the mine surveying technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the land planner 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 surveying technician role treats 4 of its required skills as things a land planner already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • compare survey computations
  • operate surveying instruments
  • perform surveying calculations
  • record survey data

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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine surveying technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a land planner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held compare survey computations information skills
  • already held perform surveying calculations information skills
  • already held operate surveying instruments working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held record survey data information skills
  • already held geographic information systems natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the mine surveying technician role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 10 missing skills fall into 9 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.

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.
