This made me laugh!

I run a 4kW fibre laser, but I've also worked alongside enough trades and technicians I'm also: remote hands; infrastructure engineer; maintenance fitter; electrician; cable hauler; SQL database manager; Delphi hacker; desktop support; VoIP telephony support; network engineer; refrigeration technician, as well as being a certified boilermaker-welder tradie with 26 years in the trade.

We just replaced the Y-axis ball screw on the laser, but only after it was slopping about 0.6mm.

I know shops where expensive equipment is sitting idle or broken because they can't find, and can't afford to pay for, someone with my experience.
