42.9/ 100

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

  • calculate oil deliveries
  • chemistry
  • keep task records
  • measure oil tank temperatures
  • set equipment controls
  • test oil samples

What stands in the way is 6 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A distillation operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gauger background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held calculate oil deliveries information skills
  • already held measure oil tank temperatures information skills
  • already held analyse oil operations data information skills
  • already held coordinate oil well operations management skills
  • already held set equipment controls working with computers
  • already held test oil samples information skills

All 10 carried skills, including the 7 the distillation operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 6 missing skills fall into 4 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.

Skill to acquire Tier
01 handling and moving 2 required
  • required, not held clean oil equipment required
  • required, not held transfer oil required
02 working with machinery and specialised equipment 2 required
  • required, not held maintain distillation equipment required
  • required, not held operate distillation equipment required
03 assisting and caring 1 required
  • required, not held verify distillation safety required
04 information skills 1 required
  • required, not held monitor distillation processes required

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
