1 Share of the crane crew supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the construction scaffolding supervisor 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 31 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A crane crew supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a construction scaffolding supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held plan resource allocation management skills
  • already held coordinate construction activities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held rig loads handling and moving
  • already held ensure compliance with construction project deadline management skills
  • already held construction product regulation business, administration and law
  • already held react to events in time-critical environments communication, collaboration and creativity

All 31 carried skills, including the 19 the crane crew 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.
