1 Share of the gas processing plant operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gas scheduling representative 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 processing plant operator role treats 11 of its required skills as things a gas scheduling representative already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with pipeline transport regulations
  • ensure compliance with gas distribution schedule
  • ensure correct gas pressure
  • ensure equipment maintenance
  • ensure maintenance of fuel distribution facilities
  • fuel distribution systems

What stands in the way is 4 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 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gas processing plant operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gas scheduling representative background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure maintenance of fuel distribution facilities assisting and caring
  • already held report on fuel distribution incidents information skills
  • already held ensure compliance with gas distribution schedule information skills
  • already held fuel distribution systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held gas consumption engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held read gas meter working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 18 carried skills, including the 11 the gas processing plant operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 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.
