1 Share of the sewerage network operative role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sewerage cleaner 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sewerage network operative role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sewerage cleaner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held maintain septic tanks constructing
already held operate sumps working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held regulate the flow of substances in pipelines assisting and caring
already held operate pumps working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held clean industrial containers handling and moving
already held repair pipelines constructing

All 13 carried skills, including the 9 the sewerage network operative 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.
