1 Share of the agricultural machinery technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the forge equipment 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 agricultural machinery technician role treats 11 of its required skills as things a forge equipment technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • conduct routine machinery checks
  • consult technical resources
  • mechanics
  • operate soldering equipment
  • operate welding equipment
  • perform machine maintenance

What stands in the way is 3 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A agricultural machinery technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a forge equipment technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held install pneumatic systems constructing
  • already held maintain hydraulic systems working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held install hydraulic systems constructing
  • already held prepare compliance documents information skills
  • already held maintain electronic equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held pneumatics natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 28 carried skills, including the 11 the agricultural machinery technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 10 missing skills fall into 6 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.
