oil rig motorhandtoderrickhand
A oil rig motorhand already meets 52% of what the derrickhand role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 44.4 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the derrickhand role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the oil rig motorhand 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 derrickhand role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a oil rig motorhand background worth leading with.
- already held work in drilling teams communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held guide drill pipes constructing
- already held rigging terminology services
- already held use rigging equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held connect equipment to wellheads working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held maintain mechanical equipment constructing
All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the derrickhand role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 10 missing skills fall into 6 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 maintain circulation system required
- required, not held monitor drilling fluid required
- optional, not held inspect pipelines optional
- required, not held react to events in time-critical environments required
- optional, not held train employees optional
- required, not held control flow of oils required
- optional, not held add chemicals to drilling fluid optional
- required, not held follow safety procedures when working at heights required
- optional, not held inspect quality of products optional
- optional, not held chemistry optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a derrickhand role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 control flow of oils skill · sector specific
- 02 maintain circulation system skill · sector specific
- 03 monitor drilling fluid 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.
