1 Share of the tiling supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the construction general 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

Why this move works

A tiling supervisor role treats 15 of its required skills as things a construction general supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on construction materials
  • check compatibility of materials
  • ensure compliance with construction project deadline
  • evaluate employees work
  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • inspect construction supplies

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tiling supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a construction general supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • 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
  • already held advise on construction materials communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held negotiate supplier arrangements communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held evaluate employees work management skills

All 22 carried skills, including the 15 the tiling supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 28 missing skills fall into 9 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.
