carpenter supervisortobricklaying supervisor
A carpenter supervisor already meets 79% of what the bricklaying supervisor role asks for. The move turns on 2 required skills not yet in the profile.
79%
29.2/ 100
1 Share of the bricklaying supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the carpenter 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 bricklaying supervisor role treats 22 of its required skills as things a carpenter supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- advise on construction materials
- answer requests for quotation
- building codes
- check compatibility of materials
- energy performance of buildings
- ensure compliance with construction project deadline
What stands in the way is 2 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 37 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bricklaying supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a carpenter supervisor background worth leading with.
- already held use squaring pole information skills
- already held install construction profiles constructing
- already held check compatibility of materials information skills
- already held building codes engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held ensure compliance with construction project deadline management skills
- already held construction product regulation business, administration and law
All 37 carried skills, including the 22 the bricklaying 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.
