1 Share of the sewerage systems manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the metal production manager 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 sewerage systems manager role treats 13 of its required skills as things a metal production manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adhere to organisational guidelines
  • create manufacturing guidelines
  • define manufacturing quality criteria
  • develop manufacturing policies
  • follow company standards
  • liaise with managers

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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sewerage systems manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a metal production manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create manufacturing guidelines management skills
  • already held develop manufacturing policies management skills
  • already held define manufacturing quality criteria management skills
  • already held negotiate supplier arrangements communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held strive for company growth management skills
  • already held plan health and safety procedures management skills

All 15 carried skills, including the 13 the sewerage systems manager 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.
