1 Share of the motor vehicle engine assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the boat rigger 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 motor vehicle engine assembler role treats 15 of its required skills as things a boat rigger already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • align components
  • apply health and safety standards
  • bolt engine parts
  • electromechanics
  • engine components
  • fasten components

What stands in the way is 3 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A motor vehicle engine assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a boat rigger background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held bolt engine parts working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operation of different engines engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held recognise signs of corrosion information skills
  • already held engine components engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held use power tools handling and moving
  • already held operate lifting equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 20 carried skills, including the 15 the motor vehicle engine assembler role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 30 missing skills fall into 9 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.

6 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.
