Task-by-Task Breakdown
Every task scored individually — sorted highest to lowest AI exposure
reports as required to managerial staff on departmental activities
Tools like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot can draft structured departmental activity reports from raw data inputs, significantly reducing writing time while supervisors verify accuracy and add contextual commentary.
establishes and monitors work schedules to meet productivity requirements
AI scheduling tools like Microsoft Copilot or Workforce.com can analyse productivity data, shift patterns, and workload demands to suggest optimised schedules, but supervisors must validate against real-world constraints and worker capabilities.
determines or recommends staffing and other needs to meet productivity requirements
AI-powered workforce analytics tools can analyse output data, absenteeism trends, and project pipelines to surface staffing recommendations, but final decisions require human judgement about team dynamics and skills.
liaises with managers and other departments and contractors to resolve operational problems
AI can help draft communications or summarise issues, but resolving operational problems across departments and contractors requires human negotiation, contextual knowledge, and relationship management that AI cannot replicate.
directly supervises and coordinates the activities of skilled metal, electrical and electronic trades workers
AI cannot replace the on-the-floor human judgment, authority, and interpersonal skills needed to directly supervise skilled tradespeople, though AI tools could assist with logging incidents or tracking worker performance data.

Skilled metal, electrical and electronic trades supervisors
This is not a pay rise — it's 468 hours of productive capacity that AI could return to you, valued at your current rate.
The portion of your current salary tied to tasks AI can automate or augment. Not a prediction of job loss — a signal of where your role is changing fastest.
How is this calculated?▾
Task weights — each task is weighted by its O*NET frequency rating. Where frequency data is absent, equal weighting is applied.
AI time reduction — tasks scored as "AI Automates" assume 80% time saving; "AI Assists" assumes 40%; "Human-Led" assumes 5%.
Salary equivalent — annual hours saved × (salary ÷ 1,800 working hours/year).
Value at risk — salary × share of role time in AI-automate or AI-assist tasks.
