professional expertise
Trained occupational knowledge
Professional expertise is specialized knowledge and skill gained through training and sustained practice in a particular field.
It implies competence beyond what an amateur or generalist possesses: The project required professional expertise in structural engineering.
The phrase often justifies hiring specialists or deferring to their judgment: I'd consult someone with professional expertise before making that decision.
