34%
58.7/ 100
1 Share of the airport environment officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the airport director 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 this move works
A airport environment officer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a airport director already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- airport environmental regulations
- apply airport standards and regulations
- identify airport safety hazards
- write work-related reports
What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A airport environment officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a airport director background worth leading with.
- already held airport environmental regulations engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held follow ethical code of conduct in transport services assisting and caring
- already held identify airport safety hazards information skills
- already held apply airport standards and regulations assisting and caring
- already held work in an aviation team communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held write work-related reports communication, collaboration and creativity
All 7 carried skills, including the 4 the airport environment officer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 11 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.

- required, not held implement environmental protection measures required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a airport environment officer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 comply with wildlife hazard management programmes skill · sector specific
- 02 conduct airport environmental studies skill · sector specific
- 03 coordinate airport environmental policies skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
