1 Share of the riveter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the oxy fuel burning machine operator 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A riveter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a oxy fuel burning machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held interpret geometric dimensions and tolerances information skills
already held statistical process control natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
already held manufacturing of metal structures engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held manufacturing of metal containers engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held manufacturing of steam generators engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held program a CNC controller working with computers

All 27 carried skills, including the 7 the riveter 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.
