1 Share of the electrical power distributor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the offshore renewable energy plant 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electrical power distributor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a offshore renewable energy plant operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held oversee power equipment operation constructing
already held coordinate electricity generation communication, collaboration and creativity
already held ensure compliance with electricity distribution schedule information skills
already held respond to electrical power contingencies working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held ensure safety in electrical power operations assisting and caring
already held electricity consumption engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 10 carried skills, including the 6 the electrical power distributor role treats as 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.
