1 Share of the oil mill operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hydrogenation machine 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.

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 oil mill operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hydrogenation machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held components of oil seeds engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held monitor oil blending process information skills
already held oil seed process engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held tend mixing oil machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held origin of dietary fats and oils engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held pump products working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 18 carried skills, including the 11 the oil mill 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.
