1 Share of the dismantling supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the construction quality manager 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 dismantling supervisor role treats 9 of its required skills as things a construction quality manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

advise on construction materials
evaluate employees work
follow health and safety procedures in construction
keep records of work progress
liaise with managers
review construction plans authorisations

What stands in the way is 11 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A dismantling supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a construction quality manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held review construction plans authorisations information skills
already held advise on construction materials communication, collaboration and creativity
already held evaluate employees work management skills
already held work in a construction team communication, collaboration and creativity
already held supervise staff management skills
already held use safety equipment in construction assisting and caring

All 10 carried skills, including the 9 the dismantling supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 25 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.

7 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
