1 Share of the crane crew supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the lift installation 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.

Why

Why this move works

A crane crew supervisor role treats 13 of its required skills as things a lift installation supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • evaluate employees work
  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • guide operation of heavy construction equipment
  • inspect construction supplies
  • liaise with managers
  • manage health and safety standards

What stands in the way is 9 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 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A crane crew supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a lift installation supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held guide operation of heavy construction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held rig loads handling and moving
  • already held ensure compliance with construction project deadline management skills
  • already held construction product regulation business, administration and law
  • already held react to events in time-critical environments communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held evaluate employees work management skills

All 24 carried skills, including the 13 the crane crew supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 18 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.
