To fix broken equipment, I have to get to broken equipment. Truck, motorcycle, atv, snowcat, utv, snowmobile. Safely operating those machines, navigating terrain, mechanical repairs/maintenance, survival/preparedness if something goes wrong. Tower climbing, rescue, rigging, etc. AC, DC, RF circuits, IP networking, some programming/automation.
I'm mostly field work, got a team that does the network monitoring/maintenance on the back end. I get a network alert that something's wrong, sometimes it's fixable by our network team remotely. If it's not, I'll get a call later that something's broke with varying levels of detail. Sometimes it's "#3 channel PA is blow'd up", other times it's a vague "it doesn't work". I'm deployed to find the problem and fix it.
Lots of hazards to manage, but the views are worth it.
