30/ 100

1 Share of the gas transmission system operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gas processing plant operator 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 gas transmission system operator role treats 10 of its required skills as things a gas processing plant operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with pipeline transport regulations
  • detect flaws in pipeline infrastructure
  • ensure compliance with environmental legislation
  • ensure regulatory compliance in pipeline infrastructures
  • fuel gas
  • perform follow-up on pipeline route services

What stands in the way is 2 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gas transmission system operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gas processing plant operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure maintenance of fuel distribution facilities assisting and caring
  • already held ensure compliance with gas distribution schedule information skills
  • already held fuel distribution systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held regulate the flow of substances in pipelines assisting and caring
  • already held security requirements of goods transported via pipelines services
  • already held perform follow-up on pipeline route services management skills

All 16 carried skills, including the 10 the gas transmission system operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 10 missing skills fall into 5 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.
