Where a geotechnician can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a geotechnician already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Geotechnicians collect and process rock and soil samples for geomechanical testing. They also describe the quality of rock mass, including structure, discontinuities, colour and weathering. Mine geotechnicians may measure the size of underground openings. They report the collected information to geologists and engineers as required.

How these figures were compiled
Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a geotechnician 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.
