1 Share of the sewerage cleaner role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the street sweeper 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 sewerage cleaner role treats 7 of its required skills as things a street sweeper already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • clean sewerage systems
  • ensure equipment maintenance
  • handle chemical cleaning agents
  • manage waste
  • perform cleaning activities in an environmentally friendly way
  • use personal protection equipment

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held clean sewerage systems handling and moving
  • already held perform cleaning activities in an environmentally friendly way assisting and caring
  • already held waste transport legislation business, administration and law
  • already held perform outdoor cleaning activities handling and moving
  • already held manage waste handling and moving
  • already held ensure equipment maintenance management skills

All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the sewerage cleaner 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.
