drop forging hammer workertoextrusion machine operator
A drop forging hammer worker already meets 70% of what the extrusion machine operator role asks for. The move turns on 1 required skill not yet in the profile.
70%
36.1/ 100
1 Share of the extrusion machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the drop forging hammer worker 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 extrusion machine operator role treats 13 of its required skills as things a drop forging hammer worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- consult technical resources
- dies
- ensure equipment availability
- monitor automated machines
- monitor moving workpiece in a machine
- perform test run
What stands in the way is 1 required skill 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A extrusion machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a drop forging hammer worker background worth leading with.
- already held replace die working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held dies engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held monitor moving workpiece in a machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held manufacturing of tools engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held metal forming technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held manufacturing of steam generators engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 28 carried skills, including the 13 the extrusion machine operator role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 20 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.

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.
