1 Share of the pneumatic systems technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pneumatic engineering technician 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 pneumatic systems technician role treats 10 of its required skills as things a pneumatic engineering technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • install pneumatic systems
  • mechanics
  • operate soldering equipment
  • perform test run
  • pneumatics
  • read standard blueprints

What stands in the way is 2 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pneumatic systems technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pneumatic engineering technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held control air flow constructing
  • already held install pneumatic systems constructing
  • already held fluid mechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held pneumatics natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held perform maintenance on installed equipment constructing
  • already held secure working area assisting and caring

All 17 carried skills, including the 10 the pneumatic systems technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 12 missing skills fall into 5 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.

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.
