1 How much of what a sewerage systems manager is expected to do is already part of a manufacturing facility manager’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the sewerage systems manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A sewerage systems manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a manufacturing facility manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

adhere to organisational guidelines
ensure equipment availability
ensure equipment maintenance
liaise with managers
manage budgets
manage staff

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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sewerage systems manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a manufacturing facility manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held ensure equipment maintenance management skills
already held plan health and safety procedures management skills
already held manufacturing processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held ensure equipment availability management skills
already held adhere to organisational guidelines assisting and caring
already held liaise with managers communication, collaboration and creativity

All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the sewerage systems manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 36 missing skills fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
