1 Share of the underwater construction supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the waterway construction labourer 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 underwater construction supervisor role treats 4 of its required skills as things a waterway construction labourer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • inspect construction sites
  • quality assurance procedures
  • work in a construction team

What stands in the way is 24 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A underwater construction supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a waterway construction labourer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held construct canal locks constructing
  • already held construct dams constructing
  • already held perform underwater bridge inspection information skills
  • already held position dredger handling and moving
  • already held measure water depth information skills
  • already held inspect concrete structures information skills

All 11 carried skills, including the 4 the underwater construction supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 47 missing skills fall into 10 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.

7 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
