1 Share of the marine painter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the transport equipment painter 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 marine painter role treats 19 of its required skills as things a transport equipment painter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply colour coats
  • apply preliminary treatment to workpieces
  • check paint consistency
  • clean painting equipment
  • dispose of hazardous waste
  • ensure equipment availability

What stands in the way is 7 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine painter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a transport equipment painter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held apply colour coats constructing
  • already held check paint consistency information skills
  • already held inspect paint quality information skills
  • already held lacquer paint applications engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held clean painting equipment handling and moving
  • already held use color matching techniques communication, collaboration and creativity

All 20 carried skills, including the 19 the marine painter role treats as required.

2 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.
