Rope access careers open up a world of exciting opportunities across various industries. Whether it's maintaining towering skyscrapers, inspecting bridges, or tackling construction projects in remote areas, these roles require a unique blend of technical know-how, physical prowess, and a talent for innovative problem-solving.

Before signing up for a rope access training course, many people wonder what jobs they can get after their training. This blog post aims to give you an idea of what type of jobs you can potentially secure in the field of rope access.

**1) Understanding what a Rope Technician is**:

- What is a Rope Tech?_

Let's get philosophical and ask the age old question, "Who am I?"

As a certified rope technician, you are now an individual that knows how to gain access to a work location. There are many sites and locations that require someone that can get to a location to either repair, or provide a service there, but the rope technician is the person that can GET to the location.

Once at the work location, you are also someone that provides a service there - you can be a welder, pipefitter, inspector, electrician, carpenter, painter, cleaner - but all these trades may require another certification or previous experience for you to provide that service.

If you are providing a service at your work location, you are both a rope technician, and also someone that provides a service at that location. A Rope technician that is supervising a team of rope techs is there to ensure the safety of rope technicians.

So, the types of jobs that are available to you will greatly rely on the skill set and experience you possess when it comes to providing a service.

The following section showcases the diverse range of services that rope access technicians are often sought after to perform and what education and training is required.

**2) Industries that need Rope Technicians**:
**High Rise Maintenance**:Window cleaning, power washing, painting, dryer duct installations.
- Experience_: Many companies are willing to train these services on the job. So, you can get a job in high rise maintenance if you don't have a lot of maintenance experience._

**Building Inspections**:Building envelope inspections. Some Engineering companies offering building envelope inspections will use rope access.
- Experience_: You will need to get an engineering degree for this._

**Oil and Gas/Industrial Facilities**:Repair and maintenance of industrial facilities requires a diverse range of mechanical trades. Alongside the essential skills of rope technicians, professionals such as pipefitters, insulators, electricians, welders, and NDE inspectors play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of these facilities.

**Electricians **are responsible for the electrical systems within the facility. They install, repair, and maintain wiring, lighting, and control systems. Welders play a vital role in the repair and maintenance of industrial facilities by joining metal components using various welding techniques. They are responsible for ensuring the structural integrity of equipment and pipelines, as well as performing repairs when necessary.

**NDE (Non-Destructive Evaluation)** inspectors are trained professionals who use specialized techniques to assess the integrity of materials and structures without causing damage. They play a crucial role in identifying any defects or weaknesses in the facility's equipment and infrastructure, ensuring that necessary repairs are carried out to maintain safety and efficiency.
- Experience_: These trades necessitate further educational programs at specialized trade institutions. Moreover, they necessitate the accumulation of logged hours in order to progress in the field._

**Energy Sectors/Civil Industries**: Wind farms, power plants, turbines, dams, and bridges all require regular maintenance to ensure their optimal functioning. These structures are essential for various industries, and skilled technicians with mechanical and construction expertise are needed to carry out repair services. Technicians in this field must possess a certain level of experience and proficiency in these skills to effectively maintain and uphold the integrity of these structures.
- Experience:_ General competency in construction skills are required. This can be achieve through means of past experience and training._

**Geotechnical Industries**:This industry uses rope access techniques for a variety of tasks to carry out inspections, install monitoring equipment, and perform geotechnical testing. They may be involved in drilling and sampling activities, installing instrumentation for monitoring ground movements, and evaluating the stability of slopes or foundations. Additionally, geotechnical technicians with rope access skills are in demand for projects involving landslide remediation, rockfall protection, and slope stabilization.
