1 Share of the environmental mining engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the onshore wind energy engineer 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A environmental mining engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a onshore wind energy engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held mining, construction and civil engineering machinery products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held civil engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held ensure compliance with safety legislation assisting and caring
  • already held approve engineering design communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use technical drawing software working with computers
  • already held ensure compliance with environmental legislation assisting and caring

All 11 carried skills, including the 11 the environmental mining engineer role treats as required.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
