skill/competence

cross-sector

Make numerical calculations is an essential skill of the following occupations:

Construction engineer: Construction engineers interpret building designs and add technical specifications to construction projects. They integrate engineering principles into the designs to ensure that structures are safe and resistant. They work together with architects and engineers to transform design ideas into executable plans.
Rail project engineer: Rail project engineers maintain a safe, cost-effective, high-quality, and environmentally responsible approach across the technical projects in railway companies. They provide project management advice on all construction projects including testing, commissioning and site supervision. They audit contractors for safety, environment and quality of design, process and performance as to ensure that all projects follow in-house standards and relevant legislation.
Railway sales agent: Railway sales agents provide service to customers who visit the ticket counter. They provide information, handle ticket reservations, sales and refunds. They also carry out clerical duties such as maintaining the daily ticket sales balance sheet. They handle requests for seat reservations and examine diagram charts of each car on train to verify the available space on the specified train.
Sign maker: Sign makers design and develop signs for a variety of uses such as flyers, traffic signs, billboards and business signs. They use different materials and techniques and if necessary they install the sign on site. Furthermore they also perform maintenance and repairs.
Road transport maintenance scheduler: Road transport maintenance schedulers are responsible for the effective execution of all maintenance work control processes of vehicles for urban transport, and for the efficient and effective use of planning and scheduling all resources to conduct maintenance activities.
Aircraft cargo operations coordinator: Aircraft cargo operations coordinators direct and coordinate air transport terminal cargo and ramp activities. They review data on incoming flights as to plan the working activities. They direct preparation of loading plans for each departing flight and confer with supervisory personnel to ensure workers and equipment are available for air cargo and baggage loading, unloading, and handling activities.
Calculation engineer: Calculation engineers draw conclusions about real systems, such as on strength, stability and durability, by performing experiments on virtual models. They test production processes as well.

Make numerical calculations is optional for these occupations. This means knowing this skill may be an asset for career advancement if you are in one of these occupations.

Aircraft fuel system operator: Aircraft fuel system operators maintain fuel distribution systems and ensure the refuelling of planes. 
Court administrative officer: Court administrative officers perform administrative and assisting duties for the court and judges. They are designated to accept or reject applications for informal probate and informal appointment of a personal representative. They manage case accounts and handle official documents. Court administrative officers perform assisting duties during a court trial, such as calling out the cases and identification of parties, keeping notes, and recording orders from the judge..
Aircraft maintenance coordinator: Aircraft maintenance coordinators plan, schedule, and manage the preparation and maintenance works in the hangars and workshops. They communicate with higher level managers in order to prepare the necessary resources for smooth and efficient operations in airports.
