1 Share of the marine electronics technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the marine mechatronics 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 marine electronics technician role treats 12 of its required skills as things a marine mechatronics technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

align components
apply health and safety standards
assemble electronic units
electronic equipment standards
electronics
fasten components

What stands in the way is 8 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine electronics technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a marine mechatronics technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held build electronic prototypes handling and moving
already held types of electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held check system parameters against reference values information skills
already held programmable logic controller engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held computer technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held printed circuit boards information and communication technologies (icts)

All 27 carried skills, including the 12 the marine electronics technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 45 missing skills fall into 12 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.

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.
