A bricklaying supervisor already meets 79% of what the plastering supervisor role asks for. The move turns on 1 required skill not yet in the profile.
79%
28.2/ 100
1 Share of the plastering supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the bricklaying 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.
Why this move works
A plastering supervisor role treats 18 of its required skills as things a bricklaying supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- answer requests for quotation
- check compatibility of materials
- ensure compliance with construction project deadline
- ensure equipment availability
- evaluate employees work
- follow health and safety procedures in construction
What stands in the way is 1 required skill 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 34 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A plastering supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bricklaying supervisor background worth leading with.
- already held mix construction grouts handling and moving
- already held install construction profiles constructing
- already held install insulation material constructing
- already held check compatibility of materials information skills
- already held ensure compliance with construction project deadline management skills
- already held construction product regulation business, administration and law
All 34 carried skills, including the 18 the plastering supervisor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
