A pyrotechnician already meets 78% of what the performance video operator role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
78%
33/ 100
1 Share of the performance video operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pyrotechnician 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 performance video operator role treats 27 of its required skills as things a pyrotechnician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt artistic plan to location
- adapt to artists' creative demands
- attend rehearsals
- communicate during show
- consult with stakeholders on implementation of a production
- draw up artistic production
What stands in the way is 5 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 44 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A performance video operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pyrotechnician background worth leading with.
- already held intervene with actions on stage communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held interpret artistic intentions communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held instruct on set up of equipment communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held de-rig electronic equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held maintain system layout for a production communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held consult with stakeholders on implementation of a production communication, collaboration and creativity
All 44 carried skills, including the 27 the performance video operator role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a performance video operator role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 adjust projector skill · sector specific
- 02 edit digital moving images skill · sector specific
- 03 set up projection equipment skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
