One of my old coworkers was a nuclear tech on a submarine and he fit this description well. I had only been in the job a couple of weeks (of a 3 month training process in a pretty technical job) and he actually came to me for help with something simple he couldn't figure out. I was able to figure it out pretty quickly for him but he'd already been in the role for a couple of years by that point.

We laughed when he applied at a competing company and actually got the job with a big raise because we knew they'd just screwed themselves and hired him solely based on what was listed on his resume. That company actually tanked and was bought out by a larger company a few years later, which he probably had a small part in accomplishing.

We also found it a bit alarming that someone of this caliber would be allowed to work with nuclear devices.
