1 Share of the mine shift 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A mine shift 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.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held investigate mine accidents information skills
  • already held monitor mine costs information skills
  • already held monitor mine production information skills
  • already held mining engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held mine safety legislation engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held impact of geological factors on mining operations engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 10 carried skills, including the 7 the mine shift manager role treats as required.

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.
