1 Share of the brazier role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the welding coordinator 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 brazier role treats 8 of its required skills as things a welding coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply brazing techniques
  • ensure equipment availability
  • operate brazing equipment
  • operate welding equipment
  • perform test run
  • select filler metal

What stands in the way is 10 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A brazier role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a welding coordinator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate brazing equipment constructing
  • already held flammable fluids engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apply brazing techniques constructing
  • already held select filler metal constructing
  • already held welding techniques engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apply arc welding techniques constructing

All 17 carried skills, including the 8 the brazier role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 30 missing skills fall into 7 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.

13 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.
