crane techniciantorigging supervisor
A crane technician already meets 32% of what the rigging supervisor role asks for. The move turns on 9 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 63.4 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the rigging supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the crane technician 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 · What you already bring
Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A rigging supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a crane technician background worth leading with.
- already held crane load charts services
- already held interpret 2D plans information skills
- already held interpret 3D plans information skills
- already held follow safety procedures when working at heights assisting and caring
- already held electricity engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held mechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the rigging supervisor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 16 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a rigging supervisor role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 understand rigging work orders skill · occupation specific
- 02 direct rigging equipment operators skill · sector specific
- 03 provide rigging plans skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

- required, not held rigging terminology required
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.
