1 Share of the bathroom fitter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the kitchen unit installer 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 bathroom fitter role treats 16 of its required skills as things a kitchen unit installer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • attach PEX pipe
  • check water pressure
  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • inspect construction supplies
  • install construction profiles
  • interpret 2D plans

What stands in the way is 7 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 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bathroom fitter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a kitchen unit installer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held replace faucets constructing
  • already held attach PEX pipe constructing
  • already held load cargo handling and moving
  • already held unload cargo handling and moving
  • already held types of piping engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held check water pressure working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 35 carried skills, including the 16 the bathroom fitter 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.
