1 Share of the metal rolling mill operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the stamping press operator 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 metal rolling mill operator role treats 12 of its required skills as things a stamping press operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure equipment availability
  • monitor automated machines
  • monitor gauge
  • perform test run
  • quality standards
  • remove inadequate workpieces

What stands in the way is 3 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 39 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A metal rolling mill operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a stamping press operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held interpret geometric dimensions and tolerances information skills
  • already held manufacturing of steel drums and similar containers engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of doors from metal engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held statistical process control natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held manufacturing of metal structures engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held metal forming technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 39 carried skills, including the 12 the metal rolling mill operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 12 missing skills fall into 3 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.

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.
