1 Share of the rolling stock engine inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the vessel assembly inspector 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 rolling stock engine inspector role treats 14 of its required skills as things a vessel assembly inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • conduct performance tests
  • create solutions to problems
  • electromechanics
  • engineering processes
  • inspect quality of products
  • manage health and safety standards

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 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A rolling stock engine inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a vessel assembly inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held act as contact person during equipment incident assisting and caring
  • already held issue licences assisting and caring
  • already held prepare audit activities management skills
  • already held send faulty equipment back to assembly line handling and moving
  • already held manage maintenance operations management skills
  • already held lead inspections information skills

All 26 carried skills, including the 14 the rolling stock engine inspector role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 11 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.

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.
