instrument techniciantoground rigger
A instrument technician already meets 63% of what the ground rigger role asks for. The move turns on 1 required skill not yet in the profile.
63%
38.1/ 100
1 Share of the ground rigger role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the instrument technician 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 this move works
A ground rigger role treats 10 of its required skills as things a instrument technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- assemble performance equipment
- organise resources for artistic production
- store performance equipment
- use communication equipment
- use personal protection equipment
- use technical documentation
What stands in the way is 1 required skill the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ground rigger role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a instrument technician background worth leading with.
- already held assemble performance equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held organise resources for artistic production management skills
- already held store performance equipment handling and moving
- already held use communication equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held work safely with mobile electrical systems under supervision working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held work with respect for own safety assisting and caring
All 13 carried skills, including the 10 the ground rigger role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 17 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
