1 Share of the construction painting supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the construction painter 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 construction painting supervisor role treats 14 of its required skills as things a construction painter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on construction materials
  • answer requests for quotation
  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • inspect construction supplies
  • inspect paintwork
  • interpret 2D plans

What stands in the way is 9 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 32 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A construction painting supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a construction painter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held inspect paintwork information skills
  • already held sand between coats handling and moving
  • already held prepare surface for painting handling and moving
  • already held blast surface handling and moving
  • already held operate rust proofing spray gun constructing
  • already held mix paint handling and moving

All 32 carried skills, including the 14 the construction painting 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.
