vineyard managertovineyard supervisor
A vineyard manager already meets 34% of what the vineyard supervisor role asks for. The move turns on 22 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 74.8 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the vineyard supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the vineyard 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.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A vineyard supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a vineyard manager background worth leading with.
- already held manage technical aspects of vineyard production management skills
- already held oversee vineyard floor activities handling and moving
- already held evaluate vineyard problems information skills
- already held manage wine production management skills
- already held develop grape growing techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held viticulture agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
All 16 carried skills, including the 12 the vineyard supervisor role treats as 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.
