1 Share of the pipeline route manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pipeline superintendent 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

Why this move works

A pipeline route manager role treats 12 of its required skills as things a pipeline superintendent already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse route possibilities in pipeline projects
  • apply health and safety standards
  • comply with pipeline transport regulations
  • develop contingency plans for emergencies
  • ensure regulatory compliance in pipeline infrastructures
  • manage staff

What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pipeline route manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pipeline superintendent background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held combine multiple fields of knowledge information skills
  • already held set management priorities in pipeline networks management skills
  • already held analyse route possibilities in pipeline projects information skills
  • already held consider the impact of material characteristics on pipeline flows constructing
  • already held survey sites for pipeline installation information skills
  • already held security requirements of goods transported via pipelines services

All 15 carried skills, including the 12 the pipeline route manager role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 12 missing skills fall into 7 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.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
