1 Share of the distillery miller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the distillery worker 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 distillery miller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a distillery worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate distilling equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prepare containers for beverage distillation handling and moving
  • already held appropriate raw materials for specific spirits engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held take measures against flammability assisting and caring
  • already held blend beverages handling and moving
  • already held sterilise fermentation tanks handling and moving

All 19 carried skills, including the 12 the distillery miller role treats as 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.
