1 Share of the marine engineering technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aerospace engineering technician 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 43 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine engineering technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aerospace engineering technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held stealth technology services
already held write stress-strain analysis reports communication, collaboration and creativity
already held perform physical stress tests on models information skills
already held synthetic natural environment natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
already held analyse stress resistance of products information skills
already held position engine on test stand handling and moving

All 43 carried skills, including the 14 the marine engineering technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 40 missing skills fall into 11 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.

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.
