marine chief engineertofisheries engineering technician
A marine chief engineer already meets 68% of what the fisheries engineering technician role asks for. The move turns on 6 required skills not yet in the profile.
68%
35.9/ 100
1 Share of the fisheries engineering technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the marine chief 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 this move works
A fisheries engineering technician role treats 16 of its required skills as things a marine chief engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships
- adjust engineering designs
- approve engineering design
- engineering principles
- engineering processes
- ensure vessel compliance with regulations
What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries engineering technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a marine chief engineer background worth leading with.
- already held fishing vessels agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships business, administration and law
- already held international regulations for preventing collisions at sea business, administration and law
- already held extinguish fires assisting and caring
- already held Global Maritime Distress and Safety System services
- already held ensure vessel compliance with regulations assisting and caring
All 17 carried skills, including the 16 the fisheries engineering technician role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 11 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.
- required, not held fisheries legislation required
- required, not held quality of fish products required
- optional, not held fisheries management optional
- required, not held survive at sea in the event of ship abandonment required
- optional, not held work in outdoor conditions optional
- required, not held technical drawings required
- required, not held perform scientific research required
- required, not held use technical drawing software required
- optional, not held perform refrigerant leak checks optional
- optional, not held test tightness and pressure of refrigeration circuits optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a fisheries engineering technician role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 fisheries legislation knowledge · sector specific
- 02 perform scientific research skill · cross sector
- 03 quality of fish products knowledge · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
