rigging supervisortooil rig motorhand
A rigging supervisor already meets 45% of what the oil rig motorhand role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
45%
53/ 100
1 Share of the oil rig motorhand role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rigging supervisor 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 oil rig motorhand role treats 7 of its required skills as things a rigging supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- direct rigging equipment operators
- electricity
- mechanics
- move rigging equipment
- rigging terminology
- set up drilling rigs
What stands in the way is 7 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A oil rig motorhand role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rigging supervisor background worth leading with.
- already held direct rigging equipment operators communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held move rigging equipment handling and moving
- already held set up drilling rigs working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held transport drilling rigs working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held rigging terminology services
- already held electricity engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 7 carried skills, including the 7 the oil rig motorhand role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 11 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.
- required, not held operate rig motors required
- required, not held connect equipment to wellheads required
- required, not held use rigging equipment required
- optional, not held guide cranes optional
- required, not held work in drilling teams required
- optional, not held train crew members optional
- required, not held maintain mechanical equipment required
- optional, not held guide drill pipes optional
- required, not held mechanical tools required
- required, not held lift heavy weights required
- optional, not held lead drilling crews optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a oil rig motorhand role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 operate rig motors skill · occupation specific
- 02 connect equipment to wellheads skill · sector specific
- 03 maintain mechanical equipment skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

1 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice
Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.
- required, not held mechanical tools required
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.
