1 Share of the gauger role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the petroleum pump system 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gauger role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a petroleum pump system operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held monitor the transfer of oil information skills
  • already held synchronise pumphouse activities working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held set equipment controls working with computers
  • already held verify oil circulation information skills
  • already held manage fuelling system handling and moving
  • already held contribute to bilge and ballast operations working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 12 carried skills, including the 6 the gauger 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.
