mine ventilation engineertomine electrical engineer
A mine ventilation engineer already meets 52% of what the mine electrical engineer role asks for. The move turns on 9 required skills not yet in the profile.
52%
51.6/ 100
1 Share of the mine electrical engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mine ventilation 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 mine electrical engineer role treats 10 of its required skills as things a mine ventilation engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- design drawings
- electricity
- electronics
- ensure compliance with safety legislation
- geology
- manage emergency procedures
What stands in the way is 9 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine electrical engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mine ventilation engineer background worth leading with.
- already held monitor mine costs information skills
- already held mining engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held mine safety legislation engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held manage emergency procedures management skills
- already held prepare scientific reports communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held geology natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
All 14 carried skills, including the 10 the mine electrical engineer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 5 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 develop improvements to the electrical systems required
- required, not held procure electrical machinery required
- required, not held advise on mine equipment required
- required, not held design circuits using CAD required
- optional, not held present reports optional
- required, not held electrical mine machinery manuals required
- required, not held electrical engineering required
- required, not held install electrical mining machinery required
- required, not held maintain electrical mine machinery required
- required, not held maintain records of mining operations required
- optional, not held monitor mine production optional
- optional, not held assess operating cost optional
- optional, not held mathematics optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a mine electrical engineer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 develop improvements to the electrical systems skill · occupation specific
- 02 procure electrical machinery skill · occupation specific
- 03 advise on mine equipment skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

4 supplementary skills, helpful but not required
- optional, not held monitor mine production optional
- optional, not held assess operating cost optional

6 held skills the mine electrical engineer role does not ask for
- not needed by the target role computational fluid dynamics knowledge
- not needed by the target role design ventilation network skill
- not needed by the target role health and safety hazards underground knowledge
- not needed by the target role manage mine ventilation skill
- not needed by the target role mechanics knowledge
- not needed by the target role use mine planning software skill
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 electrical mine machinery manuals required
- required, not held electrical engineering required
- optional, not held mathematics 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.
