1 Share of the aerodynamics engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fisheries 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.

Why

Why this move works

A aerodynamics engineer role treats 11 of its required skills as things a fisheries engineering technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adjust engineering designs
  • approve engineering design
  • engineering principles
  • engineering processes
  • execute analytical mathematical calculations
  • mathematics

What stands in the way is 14 required skills 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aerodynamics engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries engineering technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held mechanics of vessels engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held approve engineering design communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held mechanical engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held execute analytical mathematical calculations information skills
  • already held use technical drawing software working with computers
  • already held technical drawings engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 12 carried skills, including the 11 the aerodynamics engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 23 missing skills fall into 8 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.

15 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
