1 Share of the electrical equipment production supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electrical equipment inspector 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electrical equipment production supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electrical equipment inspector 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 interpret electrical diagrams information skills
already held electrical wiring diagrams engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held measure electrical characteristics information skills

All 19 carried skills, including the 10 the electrical equipment production supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 31 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.

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.
