1 Share of the battery system engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the battery manufacturing 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 battery system engineer role treats 7 of its required skills as things a battery manufacturing technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse test data
  • battery chemistry
  • electrical engineering
  • identify process improvements
  • perform product testing
  • safety engineering

What stands in the way is 15 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A battery system engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a battery manufacturing technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held battery chemistry natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held safety engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held identify process improvements management skills
  • already held health and safety in the workplace services
  • already held perform product testing information skills
  • already held analyse test data information skills

All 9 carried skills, including the 7 the battery system engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 18 missing skills fall into 6 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

12 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.
