1 Share of the electromechanical engineering technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the marine electronics technician 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 electromechanical engineering technician role treats 10 of its required skills as things a marine electronics technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

align components
apply soldering techniques
electrical equipment regulations
electricity
electromechanics
fasten components

What stands in the way is 16 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 41 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electromechanical engineering technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a marine electronics technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held assemble sensors handling and moving
already held manage quantitative data working with computers
already held install automation components working with computers
already held install mechatronic equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held power electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held assemble mechatronic units handling and moving

All 41 carried skills, including the 10 the electromechanical engineering technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 53 missing skills fall into 10 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.

19 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.
