1 Share of the waste management supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the waste management officer 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 waste management supervisor role treats 6 of its required skills as things a waste management officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

ensure compliance with waste legislative regulations
establish waste collection routes
health, safety and hygiene legislation
manage recycling program budget
manage staff
waste management

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

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

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held manage recycling program budget management skills
already held establish waste collection routes management skills
already held monitor disposal of radioactive substances handling and moving
already held respond to nuclear emergencies assisting and caring
already held follow nuclear plant safety precautions assisting and caring
already held ensure compliance with waste legislative regulations assisting and caring

All 13 carried skills, including the 6 the waste management supervisor 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.
