1 Share of the smart home engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the smart home installer 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 smart home engineer role treats 11 of its required skills as things a smart home installer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • Internet of Things
  • alarm systems
  • artificial lighting systems
  • assess integrated domotics systems
  • building automation
  • building systems monitoring technology

What stands in the way is 22 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 smart home engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a smart home installer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held alarm systems services
  • already held domotic systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held types of alarm systems services
  • already held assess integrated domotics systems information skills
  • already held building automation engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held building systems monitoring technology engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 11 carried skills, including the 11 the smart home engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 33 missing skills fall into 8 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.

16 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
