1 Share of the high rigger role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the event scaffolder 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 high rigger role treats 11 of its required skills as things a event scaffolder already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assemble performance equipment
  • follow safety procedures when working at heights
  • organise resources for artistic production
  • store performance equipment
  • use personal protection equipment
  • use rope access techniques

What stands in the way is 10 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A high rigger role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a event scaffolder background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate telehandler working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held use rope access techniques handling and moving
  • already held assemble performance equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held organise resources for artistic production management skills
  • already held store performance equipment handling and moving
  • already held manage technical resources stock management skills

All 17 carried skills, including the 11 the high rigger role treats as required.

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

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.
