oil rig motorhandtodriller
A oil rig motorhand already meets 18% of what the driller role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
18%
73/ 100
1 Share of the driller 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.
Why this move works
A driller role treats 2 of its required skills as things a oil rig motorhand already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- set up drilling rigs
- transport drilling rigs
What stands in the way is 8 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 3 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A driller 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 set up drilling rigs working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held transport drilling rigs working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held mechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 3 carried skills, including the 2 the driller role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 16 missing skills fall into 8 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 check borehole depth required
- required, not held inspect drilling equipment required
- required, not held maintain drilling equipment required
- required, not held position drills required
- required, not held operate drilling equipment required
- required, not held coordinate drilling required
- optional, not held operate core drilling equipment optional
- optional, not held operate drilling jumbo optional
- required, not held record drilling required
- optional, not held inspect water wells optional
- required, not held troubleshoot required
- optional, not held follow health and safety procedures in construction optional
- optional, not held provide first aid optional
- optional, not held work ergonomically optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a driller role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 position drills skill · occupation specific
- 02 record drilling skill · occupation specific
- 03 check borehole depth 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.
