Sad thing is lots of dual traders in our game,but very few,if any actually,know what they are doing in both trades.
Each trade needs many,many years of experience to get good at it,then throw in all the changes that are continually occurring.
Sure they may have the bit of paper,but that is about it.

35 years in the game and I'm still learning ;)

We have remote valve stations on pipelines in the jungle of PNG that require routine maintenance, the have a generator, a UPS system and some flow gear, makes alot of sense to send someone on a chopper that can do all the tasks, as opposed to sending 2 people. Dual trade makes excellent sense

Doesn't work well in all trades.In fact in the trade i am in, i have seen many times where it fails completely.

Heaps of places, lots of process plants have boilers or kilns with some instrumentation, no need for a full time instro, dual trader is perfect

I've spent lots of time in places like that, no bit of paper, but I can read a manual and calibrate an rtd, transmitter or dp cell

Plenty of time on plcs, scada and stuff, sure I'm no dcs tech or full fledged instro, but I can fix stuff good like:)
