1 Share of the crane crew supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the demolition 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.

Why

Why this move works

A crane crew supervisor role treats 16 of its required skills as things a demolition supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • coordinate construction activities
  • ensure equipment availability
  • evaluate employees work
  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • guide operation of heavy construction equipment
  • keep records of work progress

What stands in the way is 6 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 29 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 demolition supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held plan resource allocation management skills
  • already held operate heavy construction machinery without supervision working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held coordinate construction activities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held guide operation of heavy construction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held drive mobile heavy construction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held rig loads handling and moving

All 29 carried skills, including the 16 the crane crew supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 13 missing skills fall into 6 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.

3 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.
