1 Share of the crane crew supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rigger 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A crane crew supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rigger background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate tower crane working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held set up tower crane constructing
  • already held crane load charts services
  • already held secure heavy construction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held guide operation of heavy construction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held keep heavy construction equipment in good condition constructing

All 22 carried skills, including the 12 the crane crew supervisor 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.
