Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I’m sure there’s a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.

      I’ve never heard of this job, but with a search or two, it sounds kind of like he rappels to points on tall structures to check for structural issues and such using X-rays.

      Not quite. We climb / rappel structures, mostly oil rigs. And use a gamma radiation source to check for weld defects.
      We’re known as bombers because the source container, a techops sentinel 880 or a SCAR projector look a lot like bombs and we blast radiation all over the place causing issues to the nucleonic sensors so over the place.
