1 Share of the cellar operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wine fermenter 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 cellar operator role treats 8 of its required skills as things a wine fermenter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • ensure sanitation
  • follow hygienic procedures during food processing
  • prepare containers for beverage fermentation

What stands in the way is 17 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cellar operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wine fermenter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare containers for beverage fermentation handling and moving
  • already held vinegar fermentation process engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held sterilise fermentation tanks handling and moving
  • already held fermentation processes of beverages engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held keep inventory of goods in production information skills
  • already held ensure sanitation handling and moving

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the cellar operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 26 missing skills fall into 10 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.

4 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
