ship duty engineertoengine minder
A ship duty engineer already meets 46% of what the engine minder role asks for. The move turns on 14 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 60.2 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the engine minder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ship duty engineer 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.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A engine minder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ship duty engineer background worth leading with.
- already held apply vessel engine regulations assisting and caring
- already held detect malfunctions in engines constructing
- already held operate vessel engine room working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held principles of combustion engines engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held prepare engine room for operation working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held maintain vessel engine room constructing
All 15 carried skills, including the 12 the engine minder role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 18 missing skills fall into 9 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 apply regulations on cargo transport operations required
- required, not held ensure vessel compliance with regulations required
- required, not held execute safety assurance exercises required
- optional, not held comply with checklists optional
- required, not held electrical systems used in transportation required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a engine minder role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 apply regulations on cargo transport operations skill · sector specific
- 02 clean parts of vessels skill · sector specific
- 03 distinguish various types of ships 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.
