A tyre builder already meets 21% of what the tyre fitter role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
21%
69.6/ 100
1 Share of the tyre fitter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the tyre builder 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 this move works
A tyre fitter role treats 2 of its required skills as things a tyre builder already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- clean tyres
- inspect worn tyres
What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tyre fitter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tyre builder background worth leading with.
- already held paint tyres constructing
- already held clean tyres handling and moving
- already held prepare tyres for vulcanization working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held inspect worn tyres information skills
- already held mechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 5 carried skills, including the 2 the tyre fitter role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 19 missing skills fall into 8 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.
- required, not held balance tyres required
- required, not held inspect repaired tyres required
- required, not held maintain technical equipment required
- optional, not held monitor stock level optional
- optional, not held write records for repairs optional
- required, not held sell tyres required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a tyre fitter role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 balance tyres skill · sector specific
- 02 sell tyres skill · sector specific
- 03 types of tyres knowledge · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
