oil rig motorhandtorigging supervisor
A oil rig motorhand already meets 26% of what the rigging supervisor role asks for. The move turns on 11 required skills not yet in the profile.
26%
67.3/ 100
1 Share of the rigging supervisor 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 rigging supervisor role treats 3 of its required skills as things a oil rig motorhand already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- direct rigging equipment operators
- mechanics
- rigging terminology
What stands in the way is 11 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A rigging supervisor 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 direct rigging equipment operators communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held move rigging equipment handling and moving
- 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 rigging terminology services
- already held electricity engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 7 carried skills, including the 3 the rigging supervisor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 15 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 understand rigging work orders required
- required, not held interpret 2D plans required
- required, not held interpret 3D plans required
- optional, not held keep personal administration optional
- required, not held provide rigging plans required
- required, not held evaluate employees work required
- required, not held plan schedule required
- required, not held follow safety procedures when working at heights required
- required, not held work ergonomically required
- required, not held react to events in time-critical environments required
- optional, not held train employees optional
- required, not held crane load charts required
- required, not held use measurement instruments required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a rigging supervisor role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 understand rigging work orders skill · occupation specific
- 02 crane load charts knowledge · sector specific
- 03 interpret 2D plans skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

1 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice
Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
