mine managertomine planning engineer
A mine manager already meets 59% of what the mine planning engineer role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 41.2 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the mine planning engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mine manager 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine planning engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mine manager background worth leading with.
- already held interface with anti-mining lobbyists communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held evaluate mine development projects information skills
- already held monitor mine production information skills
- already held mining engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held mine safety legislation engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held assess operating cost information skills
All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the mine planning engineer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 9 missing skills fall into 5 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 generate reconciliation reports required
- required, not held maintain plans of a mining site required
- optional, not held monitor mine costs optional
- required, not held schedule mine production required
- optional, not held mine dump design optional
- required, not held use mine planning software required
- optional, not held use technical drawing software optional
- required, not held advise on mine equipment required
- optional, not held minerals laws optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a mine planning engineer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 generate reconciliation reports skill · occupation specific
- 02 advise on mine equipment skill · sector specific
- 03 maintain plans of a mining site 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.
