1 Share of the landfill supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hazardous materials inspector 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 landfill supervisor role treats 5 of its required skills as things a hazardous materials inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on waste management procedures
  • ensure compliance with waste legislative regulations
  • waste and scrap products
  • waste management
  • waste transport legislation

What stands in the way is 7 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A landfill supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hazardous materials inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held train staff on waste management communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held educate on recycling regulations communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held waste transport legislation business, administration and law
  • already held hazardous waste types services
  • already held ensure compliance with waste legislative regulations assisting and caring
  • already held advise on waste management procedures communication, collaboration and creativity

All 12 carried skills, including the 5 the landfill supervisor 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.
