1 Share of the upsetting machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hydraulic forging press worker 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 32 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A upsetting machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hydraulic forging press worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held operate forging tongs handling and moving
already held types of forging press engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held hold metal work piece in machine handling and moving
already held remove scale from metal workpiece working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held hot forging engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held cold forging engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 32 carried skills, including the 12 the upsetting machine operator role treats as required.

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.
