1 Share of the pipe welder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pipeline pump 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.

Why

Why this move works

A pipe welder role treats 7 of its required skills as things a pipeline pump operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply health and safety standards
  • operate soldering equipment
  • operate welding equipment
  • pipeline coating properties
  • prevent pipeline deterioration
  • technical drawings

What stands in the way is 21 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pipe welder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pipeline pump operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held use rigging equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held rigging terminology services
  • already held pipeline coating properties engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held prevent pipeline deterioration constructing
  • already held operate hydraulic pumps working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate pumping equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the pipe welder role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 59 missing skills fall into 11 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.
