event electriciantohigh rigger
A event electrician already meets 37% of what the high rigger role asks for. The move turns on 13 required skills not yet in the profile.
37%
66.8/ 100
1 Share of the high rigger role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the event electrician 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 high rigger role treats 8 of its required skills as things a event electrician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- assemble performance equipment
- organise resources for artistic production
- provide power distribution
- store performance equipment
- use personal protection equipment
- use technical documentation
What stands in the way is 13 required skills 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A high rigger role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a event electrician background worth leading with.
- already held provide power distribution working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held assemble performance equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held organise resources for artistic production management skills
- already held store performance equipment handling and moving
- already held ensure safety of mobile electrical systems assisting and caring
- already held manage technical resources stock management skills
All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the high rigger role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a high rigger role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 assemble truss constructions skill · sector specific
- 02 hang chain hoists skill · sector specific
- 03 maintain rigging equipment skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
