1 Share of the automotive engineering drafter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the material stress analyst 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 automotive engineering drafter role treats 9 of its required skills as things a material stress analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • CAE software
  • ICT software specifications
  • engineering principles
  • engineering processes
  • execute analytical mathematical calculations
  • liaise with engineers

What stands in the way is 10 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A automotive engineering drafter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a material stress analyst background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held render 3D images communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use computer-aided engineering systems working with computers
  • already held mechanics of motor vehicles engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held create a product's virtual model communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held material mechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held 3D modelling natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 15 carried skills, including the 9 the automotive engineering drafter role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 21 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.

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.
