1 How much of what a bicycle assembler is expected to do is already part of a transport equipment painter’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the bicycle assembler role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A bicycle assembler role treats 6 of its required skills as things a transport equipment painter already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

apply health and safety standards
mechanics
quality standards
troubleshoot
use power tools
use technical documentation

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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bicycle assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a transport equipment painter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held mix paints for vehicles handling and moving
already held carry out repair of vehicles working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held use painting equipment constructing
already held remove paint constructing
already held recognise signs of corrosion information skills
already held use power tools handling and moving

All 12 carried skills, including the 6 the bicycle assembler role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 19 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
