1 Share of the sewerage systems manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the manufacturing facility manager 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 sewerage systems manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a manufacturing facility manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

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.

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.
