1 Share of the gas processing plant supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gas station 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 processing plant supervisor role treats 7 of its required skills as things a gas station operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure correct gas pressure
  • monitor valves
  • operate gas extraction equipment
  • optimise production processes parameters
  • tend compressor engine
  • test chemical samples

What stands in the way is 8 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gas processing plant supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gas station operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held tend compressor engine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate gas extraction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held gas chromatography engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held read gas meter working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held comply with pipeline transport regulations assisting and caring
  • already held operate pumping equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 15 carried skills, including the 7 the gas processing plant supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 26 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.

7 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.
