A vineyard machinery operator already meets 28% of what the vineyard supervisor role asks for. The move turns on 24 required skills not yet in the profile.
28%
79.3/ 100
1 Share of the vineyard supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the vineyard machinery operator 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 vineyard supervisor role treats 10 of its required skills as things a vineyard machinery operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- develop grape growing techniques
- environmental legislation in agriculture and forestry
- fertilisation principles
- harvest grapes
- maintain vineyard machinery
- participate in vine preparation
What stands in the way is 24 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A vineyard supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a vineyard machinery operator background worth leading with.
- already held maintain vineyard machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held participate in vine preparation handling and moving
- already held harvest grapes handling and moving
- already held plant vine yards handling and moving
- already held tend vines handling and moving
- already held develop grape growing techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
All 13 carried skills, including the 10 the vineyard supervisor role treats as required.

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.
