mining electriciantomine electrical engineer
A mining electrician already meets 37% of what the mine electrical engineer role asks for. The move turns on 11 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 63.2 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the mine electrical engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mining electrician 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.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 8 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 mining electrician background worth leading with.
- already held electrical mine machinery manuals engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held install electrical mining machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held maintain electrical mine machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held maintain records of mining operations information skills
- already held electrical engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 8 carried skills, including the 8 the mine electrical engineer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 19 missing skills fall into 7 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
- required, not held prepare scientific reports required
- optional, not held address problems critically 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.

5 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 mine safety legislation required
- required, not held design drawings required
- required, not held geology required
- optional, not held mining engineering optional
- 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.
