1 Share of the vineyard machinery operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the vineyard 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.

Why

Why this move works

A vineyard machinery operator role treats 8 of its required skills as things a vineyard supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

environmental legislation in agriculture and forestry
execute disease and pest control activities
harvest grapes
maintain vineyard machinery
operate agricultural machinery
pest control in plants

What stands in the way is 4 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A vineyard machinery operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a vineyard supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held maintain vineyard machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held participate in vine preparation handling and moving
already held harvest grapes handling and moving
already held plant vine yards handling and moving
already held tend vines handling and moving
already held develop grape growing techniques communication, collaboration and creativity

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the vineyard machinery operator role treats as required.

Note

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.
