1 Share of the grader operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dismantling worker 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A grader operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dismantling worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held recognise the hazards of dangerous goods assisting and caring
already held secure heavy construction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held operate heavy construction machinery without supervision working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held keep heavy construction equipment in good condition constructing
already held drive mobile heavy construction equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held sort waste handling and moving

All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the grader operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 19 missing skills fall into 7 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

2 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.
