quarry managertomine production manager
A quarry manager already meets 47% of what the mine production manager role asks for. The move turns on 12 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 56.1 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the mine production manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the quarry manager 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine production manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a quarry manager background worth leading with.
- already held train mine engineers communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held investigate mine accidents information skills
- already held communicate on minerals issues communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held monitor mine costs information skills
- already held monitor mine production information skills
- already held mining engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 15 carried skills, including the 10 the mine production manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 16 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a mine production manager role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 deputise for the mine manager skill · occupation specific
- 02 advise on mine equipment skill · sector specific
- 03 deal with pressure from unexpected circumstances 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.
