1 Share of the machinery assembly supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aircraft assembly supervisor 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A machinery assembly supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aircraft assembly supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held coordinate communication within a team communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held oversee production requirements management skills
  • already held report on production results information skills
  • already held check material resources management skills
  • already held schedule regular machine maintenance management skills
  • already held recruit personnel management skills

All 23 carried skills, including the 10 the machinery assembly supervisor role treats as required.

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.
