1 Share of the electrical supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the domestic electrician 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 electrical supervisor role treats 12 of its required skills as things a domestic electrician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • answer requests for quotation
  • building systems monitoring technology
  • electrical wiring plans
  • electricity
  • electromechanics
  • electronics

What stands in the way is 15 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 29 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electrical supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a domestic electrician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held install electricity sockets working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held solar panel mounting systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held install circuit breakers working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held install electric switches working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held building systems monitoring technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held splice cable working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 29 carried skills, including the 12 the electrical supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 28 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.

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.
