51.1/ 100

1 Share of the equipment engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the logistics 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.

Why

Why this move works

A equipment engineer role treats 11 of its required skills as things a logistics engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • define technical requirements
  • engineering principles
  • engineering processes
  • execute analytical mathematical calculations
  • interpret technical requirements
  • manage engineering project

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held interpret technical requirements information skills
  • already held manage engineering project management skills
  • already held define technical requirements management skills
  • already held execute analytical mathematical calculations information skills
  • already held project management business, administration and law
  • already held use technical drawing software working with computers

All 11 carried skills, including the 11 the equipment engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 26 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

11 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.
