46.2/ 100

1 Share of the dip tank operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rustproofer 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 dip tank operator role treats 6 of its required skills as things a rustproofer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure equipment availability
  • industrial paint
  • quality standards
  • remove inadequate workpieces
  • remove processed workpiece
  • wear appropriate protective gear

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A dip tank operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rustproofer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held galvanise metal workpiece working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held industrial paint engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held metal coating technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of tools engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacture of small metal parts engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of metal assembly products engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 27 carried skills, including the 6 the dip tank operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 21 missing skills fall into 8 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.
