oil rig motorhandtoroustabout
A oil rig motorhand already meets 22% of what the roustabout role asks for. The move turns on 13 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 73.1 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the roustabout role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the oil rig motorhand 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A roustabout role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a oil rig motorhand background worth leading with.
- already held work in drilling teams communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held connect equipment to wellheads working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held guide cranes working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held electricity engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held mechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 5 carried skills, including the 3 the roustabout role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 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 make foundations for derricks required
- required, not held connect oil well heads required
- required, not held inspect pipelines required
- required, not held adjust tightness of engine parts required
- required, not held maintain pipe deck required
- required, not held clean up spilled oil required
- required, not held clear drill sites required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a roustabout role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 maintain pipe deck skill · occupation specific
- 02 make foundations for derricks skill · occupation specific
- 03 clean up spilled oil 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.
