1 Share of the event electrician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the audio production 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.

Why

Why this move works

A event electrician role treats 6 of its required skills as things a audio production technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure safety of mobile electrical systems
  • store performance equipment
  • use personal protection equipment
  • use technical documentation
  • work ergonomically
  • work with respect for own safety

What stands in the way is 2 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 event electrician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a audio production technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held provide power distribution working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held assess power needs management skills
  • already held store performance equipment handling and moving
  • already held ensure safety of mobile electrical systems assisting and caring
  • already held manage technical resources stock management skills
  • already held work with respect for own safety assisting and caring

All 12 carried skills, including the 6 the event electrician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 4 missing skills fall into 2 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.

Skill to acquire Tier
01 working with machinery and specialised equipment 1 required, 2 supplementary
  • required, not held assemble performance equipment required
  • optional, not held maintain electrical equipment optional
  • optional, not held set up generators optional
02 management skills 1 required
  • required, not held organise resources for artistic production required

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.
