1 Share of the froth flotation deinking operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the digester 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

Why this move works

A froth flotation deinking operator role treats 12 of its required skills as things a digester operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • concentrate pulp slurry
  • deinking processes
  • monitor automated machines
  • monitor chemical process condition
  • quality standards
  • set up the controller of a machine

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A froth flotation deinking operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a digester operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held use deinking chemicals working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held wash fibres working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held tend bleacher working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held concentrate pulp slurry information skills
  • already held deinking processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held test paper production samples information skills

All 28 carried skills, including the 12 the froth flotation deinking operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 8 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.

  • required, not held tend deinking tank required
02 assisting and caring 1 required

The 3 entries a froth flotation deinking operator role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

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

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.
