1 Share of the mine shift manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the refinery shift 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.

Why

Why this move works

A mine shift manager role treats 8 of its required skills as things a refinery shift manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • deal with pressure from unexpected circumstances
  • electricity
  • ensure compliance with safety legislation
  • manage emergency procedures
  • manage staff
  • present reports

What stands in the way is 5 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 11 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 refinery shift manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage heavy equipment management skills
  • already held think proactively communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held deal with pressure from unexpected circumstances communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage emergency procedures management skills
  • already held identify process improvements management skills
  • already held ensure compliance with safety legislation assisting and caring

All 11 carried skills, including the 8 the mine shift manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 9 missing skills fall into 4 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.

4 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.
