Technical SMEs

With an extensive reach across all industry disciplines via the PetroSkills Alliance, our access to globally recognized and specialized subject matter expertise serves as a key differentiator. Leveraging our vast experience-base across virtually any technical area provides assurance that our competency consulting engagements continuously align to the current best practice standard, regardless of operational discipline.

Competency Maps

PetroSkills’ Competency Maps (or CMAPs) define all of the Skill Groups, Skills, and Tasks associated with an industry discipline or area of work. It provides detailed descriptions of each Skill, and also identifies key variances in competence requirements across four levels of competency proficiency.
PetroSkills holds a tremendous range of CMAPs within their inventory, spanning across various operational areas and technical disciplines. Additionally, semi-annual audits and updates of all PetroSkills CMAPs are conducted in collaboration with our Alliance Discipline Members, thus ensuring that CMAP content remains relevant and current against actual industry standards.

Competency Management Process

Job Competency Profiling

Leveraging both our specialist resources around competency consulting and subject matter expertise, as well as our inventory of industry validated CMAPs, PetroSkills engages with the internal SMEs of an organization to methodically define the specific Skills, Competencies, and associated Levels of Proficiency that may be relevant to key site-specific job roles.

Through a series of Job Competency Profiling (JCP) workshops, a comprehensive Job Level Requirements (JLR) matrix is defined. This collaborative engagement ensures that the Job Competency Profiles created for an organization not only measure up to vetted industry competency standards, but also align to the site-specific requirements of each organization.
