1 Share of the road marker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the marine painter 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 road marker role treats 4 of its required skills as things a marine painter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

dispose of hazardous waste
dispose of non-hazardous waste
paint with a paint gun
types of paint

What stands in the way is 10 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A road marker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a marine painter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held paint with a paint gun constructing
already held types of paint natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
already held dispose of non-hazardous waste handling and moving
already held dispose of hazardous waste handling and moving
already held keep records of work progress information skills

All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the road marker role treats as required.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
