1 Share of the mining electrician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mine control room 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.

Why

Why this move works

A mining electrician role treats 6 of its required skills as things a mine control room operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • communicate mine equipment information
  • conduct inter-shift communication
  • electricity
  • electronics
  • maintain records of mining operations
  • troubleshoot

What stands in the way is 6 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mining electrician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mine control room operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held communicate mine equipment information communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held conduct inter-shift communication communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain records of mining operations information skills
  • already held health and safety hazards underground services
  • already held impact of geological factors on mining operations engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 8 carried skills, including the 6 the mining electrician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 7 missing skills fall into 4 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.

01 information skills 2 required
  • required, not held report mine machinery repairs required
  • required, not held test mine equipment required
02 working with machinery and specialised equipment 2 required
  • required, not held install electrical mining machinery required
  • required, not held maintain electrical mine machinery required
03 engineering, manufacturing and construction 1 required, 1 supplementary
  • required, not held electrical mine machinery manuals required
  • optional, not held electrical engineering optional
04 communication, collaboration and creativity 1 required
  • required, not held train operators in using mine machinery 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.
