1 Share of the underwater construction supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rescue diver 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 underwater construction supervisor role treats 10 of its required skills as things a rescue diver already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

check diving equipment
comply with legal requirements for diving operations
comply with the planned time for the depth of the dive
diving equipment
diving operation requirements
diving vessels systems

What stands in the way is 18 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A underwater construction supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rescue diver background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held comply with the planned time for the depth of the dive assisting and caring
already held diving equipment services
already held diving vessels systems services
already held ensure diving operations conform with plan communication, collaboration and creativity
already held ensure health and safety of dive teams assisting and caring
already held implement dive plans communication, collaboration and creativity

All 16 carried skills, including the 10 the underwater construction supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 42 missing skills fall into 9 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.
