1 Share of the metal rolling mill operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electron beam welder 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 metal rolling mill operator role treats 14 of its required skills as things a electron beam welder already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure correct metal temperature
  • ensure equipment availability
  • monitor automated machines
  • monitor gauge
  • perform test run
  • quality standards

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 31 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A metal rolling mill operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electron beam welder background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure correct metal temperature working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held smooth burred surfaces handling and moving
  • already held statistical process control natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held manufacturing of heating equipment engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of metal containers engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of steam generators engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 31 carried skills, including the 14 the metal rolling mill operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 20 missing skills fall into 4 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.
