1 Share of the move coordinator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the move 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 move coordinator role treats 6 of its required skills as things a move manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse requirements for moving goods
  • hazards associated with loading dangerous goods
  • health and safety measures in transportation
  • prepare resources for loading activities
  • transportation methods
  • use communication devices

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare resources for loading activities handling and moving
  • already held animal transportation vehicles services
  • already held analyse requirements for moving goods handling and moving
  • already held manage the transportation of animals handling and moving
  • already held hazards associated with loading dangerous goods services
  • already held animal transport regulations business, administration and law

All 10 carried skills, including the 6 the move coordinator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 16 missing skills fall into 5 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
