stone polishertostone planer
A stone polisher already meets 67% of what the stone planer role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
67%
38.1/ 100
1 Share of the stone planer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the stone polisher 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 this move works
A stone planer role treats 13 of its required skills as things a stone polisher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- ensure equipment availability
- inspect stone surface
- mark stone workpieces
- measure flatness of a surface
- measure materials
- operate precision measuring equipment
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 · What you already bring
Of the 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A stone planer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a stone polisher background worth leading with.
- already held prepare stone for smoothing handling and moving
- already held polish stone by hand handling and moving
- already held inspect stone surface information skills
- already held mark stone workpieces handling and moving
- already held polish stone surfaces handling and moving
- already held types of stone for working engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 26 carried skills, including the 13 the stone planer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 12 missing skills fall into 5 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.
- required, not held maneuver stone blocks required
- required, not held dispose of cutting waste material required
- required, not held use stone splitting techniques required
- optional, not held sharpen edged tools optional
- optional, not held use stonemason's chisel optional
- required, not held regulate cutting speed required
- required, not held wear appropriate protective gear required
- optional, not held work ergonomically optional
- required, not held types of sawing blades required
- optional, not held mechanical tools optional
- required, not held tend planing machine required
- optional, not held lubricate engines optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a stone planer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 tend planing machine skill · occupation specific
- 02 maneuver stone blocks skill · sector specific
- 03 dispose of cutting waste material skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

- required, not held types of sawing blades required
- optional, not held mechanical tools optional
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.
