1 Share of the sugar refinery operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the carbonation operator 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sugar refinery operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a carbonation operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held monitor centrifugal separators working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing
already held clean food and beverage machinery handling and moving
already held be at ease in unsafe environments management skills
already held dispose food waste handling and moving
already held ensure compliance with environmental legislation in food production assisting and caring

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the sugar refinery operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 18 missing skills fall into 8 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.

Note

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.
