mine managertomine production manager
A mine manager already meets 67% of what the mine production manager role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
67%
38.6/ 100
1 Share of the mine production manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mine manager 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 mine production manager role treats 14 of its required skills as things a mine manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- address problems critically
- deal with pressure from unexpected circumstances
- electricity
- ensure compliance with safety legislation
- identify process improvements
- impact of geological factors on mining operations
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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine production manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mine manager background worth leading with.
- already held train mine engineers communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held investigate mine accidents information skills
- already held communicate on minerals issues communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held think proactively communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held monitor mine production information skills
- already held mining engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 22 carried skills, including the 14 the mine production manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 9 missing skills fall into 4 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 deputise for the mine manager required
- required, not held manage heavy equipment required
- required, not held manage medium term objectives required
- required, not held plan medium to long term objectives required
- optional, not held design plant waste procedures optional
- required, not held monitor mine costs required
- required, not held report on production results required
- required, not held advise on mine equipment required
- required, not held use mine planning software required
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a mine production manager role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 deputise for the mine manager skill · occupation specific
- 02 advise on mine equipment skill · sector specific
- 03 monitor mine costs skill · sector specific
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.
