1 Share of the green coffee coordinator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the food production engineer 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A green coffee coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a food production engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held food and beverage industry engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held quality assurance methodologies business, administration and law
already held apply GMP assisting and caring
already held apply HACCP assisting and caring
already held apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages assisting and caring

All 5 carried skills, including the 5 the green coffee coordinator 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.
