1 Share of the dredging supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dismantling 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A dredging supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dismantling supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held plan resource allocation management skills
already held coordinate construction activities communication, collaboration and creativity
already held ensure compliance with construction project deadline management skills
already held dispose of non-hazardous waste handling and moving
already held evaluate employees work management skills
already held dispose of hazardous waste handling and moving

All 19 carried skills, including the 12 the dredging supervisor role treats as required.

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.
