1 Share of the marine engineering drafter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the naval architect 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 engineering drafter role treats 8 of its required skills as things a naval architect already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • CAE software
  • create technical plans
  • engineering principles
  • engineering processes
  • execute analytical mathematical calculations
  • mathematics

What stands in the way is 10 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 46 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine engineering drafter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a naval architect background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held naval architecture engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held stealth technology services
  • already held synthetic natural environment natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held conduct energy audit information skills
  • already held develop energy saving concepts management skills
  • already held vessel fuels natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 46 carried skills, including the 8 the marine engineering drafter role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 23 missing skills fall into 8 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.
