mining geotechnical engineertomine ventilation engineer
A mining geotechnical engineer already meets 32% of what the mine ventilation engineer role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 61.4 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the mine ventilation engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mining geotechnical 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.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine ventilation engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mining geotechnical engineer background worth leading with.
- already held use mine planning software working with computers
- already held health and safety hazards underground services
- already held prepare scientific reports communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held geology natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
- already held supervise staff management skills
- already held address problems critically communication, collaboration and creativity
All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the mine ventilation engineer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 14 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 mine safety legislation required
- required, not held design drawings required
- optional, not held mining engineering optional
- optional, not held electricity optional
- optional, not held electronics optional
- optional, not held mechanics optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a mine ventilation engineer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 manage mine ventilation skill · occupation specific
- 02 design ventilation network skill · sector specific
- 03 mine safety legislation knowledge · 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.
