A master coffee roaster already meets 43% of what the coffee roaster role asks for. The move turns on 9 required skills not yet in the profile.
43%
57.6/ 100
1 Share of the coffee roaster role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the master coffee roaster 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 this move works
A coffee roaster role treats 9 of its required skills as things a master coffee roaster already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply GMP
- apply HACCP
- apply different roasting methods
- apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
- handle flammable substances
- maintain industrial ovens
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 · What you already bring
Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A coffee roaster role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a master coffee roaster background worth leading with.
- already held apply different roasting methods handling and moving
- already held maintain industrial ovens constructing
- already held monitor roasting information skills
- already held handle flammable substances handling and moving
- already held manage kiln ventilation working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held operate a heat treatment process assisting and caring
All 11 carried skills, including the 9 the coffee roaster role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 20 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a coffee roaster role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 check processing parameters skill · sector specific
- 02 monitor temperature in manufacturing process of food and beverages skill · sector specific
- 03 operate industrial ovens skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
