spring makertostamping press operator
A spring maker already meets 69% of what the stamping press operator role asks for. The move turns on 2 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 36.2 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the stamping press operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the spring maker 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 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A stamping press operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a spring maker background worth leading with.
- already held statistical process control natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
- already held metal forming technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held program a CNC controller working with computers
- already held perform product testing information skills
- already held quality and cycle time optimisation engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held remove inadequate workpieces handling and moving
All 26 carried skills, including the 14 the stamping press operator role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
