1 Share of the marine electrician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the automotive battery 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 marine electrician role treats 6 of its required skills as things a automotive battery technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply health and safety standards
  • electricity
  • read standard blueprints
  • test electrical equipment
  • use technical documentation
  • wear appropriate protective gear

What stands in the way is 13 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine electrician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a automotive battery technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held install transport equipment batteries working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held test electrical equipment constructing
  • already held repair battery components working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held battery fluids engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held operate battery test equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held battery chemistry natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 15 carried skills, including the 6 the marine electrician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 22 missing skills fall into 7 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.

10 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
