1 Share of the electrical power distributor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the power plant manager 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 electrical power distributor role treats 8 of its required skills as things a power plant manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt energy distribution schedules
  • develop electricity distribution schedule
  • electrical power safety regulations
  • electricity
  • ensure compliance with electricity distribution schedule
  • ensure equipment maintenance

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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electrical power distributor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a power plant manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop electricity distribution schedule management skills
  • already held supervise electricity distribution operations management skills
  • already held oversee power equipment operation constructing
  • already held adapt energy distribution schedules working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held analyse energy market trends information skills
  • already held coordinate electricity generation communication, collaboration and creativity

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the electrical power distributor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 14 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
