rigging supervisortorigger
A rigging supervisor already meets 44% of what the rigger role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 55.6 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the rigger role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rigging supervisor 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A rigger role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rigging supervisor background worth leading with.
- already held rigging terminology services
- already held crane load charts services
- already held use remote control equipment working with computers
- already held rig loads handling and moving
- already held react to events in time-critical environments communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held interpret 2D plans information skills
All 11 carried skills, including the 8 the rigger role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 18 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a rigger role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 inspect construction sites skill · sector specific
- 02 secure heavy construction equipment skill · sector specific
- 03 work in a construction team skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

1 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice
Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.
- required, not held mechanical tools required
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.
