1 Share of the electromechanical engineering technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electrical engineering 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 38 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electromechanical engineering technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electrical engineering technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held electric motors engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held electric drives engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held electrical machines engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held electrical wiring diagrams engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held power electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held prepare pieces for joining handling and moving

All 38 carried skills, including the 23 the electromechanical engineering technician role treats as required.

25 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.
