1 Share of the pipeline compliance coordinator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pipeline maintenance worker 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 pipeline compliance coordinator role treats 7 of its required skills as things a pipeline maintenance worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply health and safety standards
  • comply with pipeline transport regulations
  • detect flaws in pipeline infrastructure
  • ensure regulatory compliance in pipeline infrastructures
  • follow up pipeline integrity management priorities
  • security requirements of goods transported via pipelines

What stands in the way is 11 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pipeline compliance coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pipeline maintenance worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held follow up pipeline integrity management priorities management skills
  • already held security requirements of goods transported via pipelines services
  • already held pipeline coating properties engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held comply with pipeline transport regulations assisting and caring
  • already held test pipeline infrastructure operations information skills
  • already held detect flaws in pipeline infrastructure constructing

All 9 carried skills, including the 7 the pipeline compliance coordinator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 19 missing skills fall into 6 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.

1 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.
