1 Share of the vessel assembly inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the motor vehicle engine inspector 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A vessel assembly inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a motor vehicle engine inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held act as contact person during equipment incident assisting and caring
already held issue licences assisting and caring
already held prepare audit activities management skills
already held send faulty equipment back to assembly line handling and moving
already held manage maintenance operations management skills
already held lead inspections information skills

All 26 carried skills, including the 13 the vessel assembly inspector role treats as required.

Note

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.
