1 Share of the water conservation technician supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electrician 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 water conservation technician supervisor role treats 8 of its required skills as things a electrician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • answer requests for quotation
  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • inspect construction supplies
  • keep records of work progress
  • order construction supplies
  • process incoming construction supplies

What stands in the way is 13 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A water conservation technician supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electrician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held energy performance of buildings engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held order construction supplies communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held calculate needs for construction supplies information skills
  • already held answer requests for quotation communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held process incoming construction supplies information skills
  • already held inspect construction supplies information skills

All 11 carried skills, including the 8 the water conservation technician supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 33 missing skills fall into 8 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.

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.
