1 Share of the beverage filtration technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the carbonation 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A beverage filtration technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a carbonation operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held perform carbonation processes working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held manage carbonation levels working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held monitor filling machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held monitor centrifugal separators working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held processes of foods and beverages manufacturing engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing

All 15 carried skills, including the 9 the beverage filtration technician 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.
