metal engravertostone engraver
A metal engraver already meets 43% of what the stone engraver role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
43%
59.7/ 100
1 Share of the stone engraver role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the metal engraver 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 stone engraver role treats 8 of its required skills as things a metal engraver already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- clean engraved areas
- engrave patterns
- ensure equipment availability
- operate engraving equipment
- position engraving equipment
- prepare workpieces for engraving
What stands in the way is 8 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A stone engraver role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a metal engraver background worth leading with.
- already held position engraving equipment handling and moving
- already held types of engraving needles engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held determine quality of engraving information skills
- already held transpose designs to engravings information skills
- already held clean engraved areas handling and moving
- already held prepare workpieces for engraving handling and moving
All 15 carried skills, including the 8 the stone engraver role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 24 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.

- required, not held adjust cut sizes required
- required, not held wash stone required
- optional, not held pack stone products optional
- optional, not held polish stone surfaces optional

3 further areas in the appendix
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a stone engraver role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 cool workpiece skill · occupation specific
- 02 types of engraving stone knowledge · occupation specific
- 03 adjust cut sizes skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice
Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.
- required, not held types of engraving stone required

- optional, not held quality and cycle time optimisation optional
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.
