tile fittertotiling supervisor
A tile fitter already meets 67% of what the tiling supervisor role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 39.2 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the tiling supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the tile fitter 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 34 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tiling supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tile fitter background worth leading with.
- already held plan tiling constructing
- already held types of tile adhesive engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held apply tile adhesive constructing
- already held attach accessories to tile handling and moving
- already held caulk expansion joints constructing
- already held drill holes in tile handling and moving
All 34 carried skills, including the 16 the tiling supervisor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 16 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a tiling supervisor role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 check compatibility of materials skill · sector specific
- 02 ensure compliance with construction project deadline skill · cross sector
- 03 ensure equipment availability skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
