Where a welding engineer can go next

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

Welding engineers research and develop optimal effective welding techniques and design the corresponding, equally efficient equipment to aid in the welding process. They also conduct quality control and evaluate inspection procedures for welding activities. Welding engineers have advanced knowledge and critical understanding of welding technology application. They are able to manage high complex technical and professional activities or projects related to welding applications, while also taking responsibility for the decision making process.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a welding 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.
