Where a geological engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a geological engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Geological engineers apply geological knowledge for the assessment of sites, soils, slope stability, sediments and other observable characteristics in the Earth. They integrate this information in the planning and development of projects in those places. They assess and answer questions concerning the geological characteristics of soils by performing research and experiments on the sites aimed to be intervened.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a geological engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
