1 Share of the sewer construction worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sewer construction supervisor 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 sewer construction worker role treats 17 of its required skills as things a sewer construction supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • dig sewer trenches
  • excavation techniques
  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • inspect construction sites
  • inspect construction supplies
  • lay sewer pipe

What stands in the way is 5 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 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sewer construction worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sewer construction supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held dig sewer trenches working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held lay sewer pipe constructing
  • already held types of bedding materials engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held level earth surface working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held provide pipe bedding constructing
  • already held transport pipes working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 35 carried skills, including the 17 the sewer construction worker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 10 missing skills fall into 4 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.
