1 Share of the electronics engineering technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the marine electronics 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

Why this move works

A electronics engineering technician role treats 14 of its required skills as things a marine electronics technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • align components
  • apply soldering techniques
  • assemble electronic units
  • electronic equipment standards
  • electronics
  • fasten components

What stands in the way is 16 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 49 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electronics engineering technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a marine electronics technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintain electronic systems working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held types of electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held repair electronic components working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held printed circuit boards information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held assemble sensors handling and moving
  • already held manage quantitative data working with computers

All 49 carried skills, including the 14 the electronics engineering technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 41 missing skills fall into 11 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.

14 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
