50 hours is a minimum. In the field as a supervisor you may be working 84-90hrs a week, hours away from family, for 24 days straight. 4 days off and back at-er.

Sick if true

This was pretty close to my life for a decade through my 20s into early 30s. Sometimes our project schedules allowed for a 17on 4off, but generally not any better than that.

Damn that’s cowboy

24 days on with 4 days off?!?! Respect to those guys but that’s a no from me

Now add in -40°C, snow, ice, and working outside from 7am to 7pm

Thankful to the folks willing to put in the hours and the effort to continue building out our energy sector!
