1 Share of the sewer construction supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the crane crew 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 sewer construction supervisor role treats 20 of its required skills as things a crane crew supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure compliance with construction project deadline
  • ensure equipment availability
  • evaluate employees work
  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • guide operation of heavy construction equipment
  • inspect construction sites

What stands in the way is 7 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 32 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sewer construction supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a crane crew supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate heavy construction machinery without supervision working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held guide operation of heavy construction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held keep heavy construction equipment in good condition constructing
  • already held inspect construction sites information skills
  • already held drive mobile heavy construction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held rig loads handling and moving

All 32 carried skills, including the 20 the sewer construction supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 21 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.

4 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
