77%
33.5/ 100
1 Share of the scenery technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the automated fly bar operator 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 this move works
A scenery technician role treats 20 of its required skills as things a automated fly bar operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt to artists' creative demands
- assemble scenic elements on stage
- assemble the rehearsal set
- dismantle the rehearsal set
- follow safety procedures when working at heights
- handle scenic elements during rehearsal
What stands in the way is 4 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 37 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A scenery technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a automated fly bar operator background worth leading with.

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.
