51.7/ 100

1 Share of the power production plant operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the offshore renewable energy technician 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 power production plant operator role treats 11 of its required skills as things a offshore renewable energy technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • automation technology
  • electric generators
  • electrical power safety regulations
  • electricity
  • ensure equipment maintenance
  • maintain electrical equipment

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held inspect wind turbines constructing
  • already held maritime meteorology natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held prevent marine pollution information skills
  • already held offshore constructions and facilities engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held types of wind turbines engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held maintain sensor equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 32 carried skills, including the 11 the power production plant operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 31 missing skills fall into 7 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.
