intelligent lighting engineertofollowspot operator
A intelligent lighting engineer already meets 69% of what the followspot operator role asks for. The move turns on 6 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 35.3 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the followspot operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the intelligent lighting engineer 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 · What you already bring
Of the 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A followspot operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a intelligent lighting engineer background worth leading with.
- already held de-rig electronic equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held pack electronic equipment handling and moving
- already held perform first fire intervention assisting and caring
- already held set up equipment in a timely manner handling and moving
- already held store performance equipment handling and moving
- already held prepare personal work environment management skills
All 18 carried skills, including the 13 the followspot operator role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 8 missing skills fall into 3 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.
- required, not held assemble performance equipment required
- required, not held operate follow spots required
- required, not held use communication equipment required
- required, not held communicate during show required
- required, not held set up follow spots required
- optional, not held adapt designers’ work to the performance venue optional
- optional, not held identify technical resources for performances optional
- required, not held follow safety precautions in work practices required
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a followspot operator role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 assemble performance equipment skill · sector specific
- 02 communicate during show skill · sector specific
- 03 operate follow spots skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
