1 Share of the landfill supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the waste broker 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A landfill supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a waste broker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held coordinate waste management procedures management skills
  • already held communicate with waste collectors communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain waste collection records information skills
  • already held waste transport legislation business, administration and law
  • already held ensure compliance with waste legislative regulations assisting and caring
  • already held advise on waste management procedures communication, collaboration and creativity

All 11 carried skills, including the 7 the landfill supervisor 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.
