refuse vehicle drivertowaste broker
A refuse vehicle driver already meets 35% of what the waste broker role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 60.5 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the waste broker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the refuse vehicle driver 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 · What you already bring
Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A waste broker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a refuse vehicle driver background worth leading with.

- already held establish waste collection routes management skills
- already held maintain waste collection records information skills
- already held hazardous materials transportation services
- already held waste transport legislation business, administration and law

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.
