1 Share of the landfill supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the industrial waste inspector 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 landfill supervisor role treats 4 of its required skills as things a industrial waste inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on waste management procedures
  • ensure compliance with waste legislative regulations
  • manage health and safety standards
  • waste management

What stands in the way is 8 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A landfill supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a industrial waste inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop non-hazardous waste management strategies management skills
  • already held hazardous waste types services
  • already held ensure compliance with waste legislative regulations assisting and caring
  • already held advise on waste management procedures communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held waste management services
  • already held hazardous waste storage services

All 10 carried skills, including the 4 the landfill supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 23 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
