1 Share of the mine ventilation engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mine production 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine ventilation engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mine production manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held use mine planning software working with computers
  • already held monitor mine costs information skills
  • already held mining engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held mine safety legislation engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held health and safety hazards underground services
  • already held manage emergency procedures management skills

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the mine ventilation engineer role treats as required.

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.
