Dick, lol.
We're 36 and 48 also, more 3 and 4 days on/off in a row. Every 5 weeks we get an 8 day break by working mon-thurs and don't go back til the next friday night. I like to take those next 4 nights off and have a 2 week break by just taking 40 hours vacation. Like you said, I could never work a mon-fri 9-5 job again.Many people also ask if I work at all.
I work 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on , 3 off.
One week is 36 hours and the other is 48 hours. It is nice though, I can take 24 hours PTO and have the whole week off. I usually take a week off every month from April through September.

The power industry is all over northern California.Does this power industry cover territory in Northern California? I’m looking to get in scheduling or planning for utility company at any level with hydro, transmission and gas lines.

Crazy.This is the same shift I work. Like you, 12hrs on a concrete floor in a non climate controlled plant. I had some coworkers leave and start a job at local power plant. The pay was a little more and the benefits are also better. But a few months of working that Dupont 24/7 schedule they was begging to come back. One made it back already, two are waiting for a job opening to come back. The two waiting are about to lose their minds working that shift.

Also planning and scheduling means different things depending on who you work for.
At some places a planner scheduler helps facilitate maintenance outages and tracks the associated budget. Others they do the same but in more of overall project role for things not related to the actual power plants.
Can you be more specific as to what you're looking to do?
Thats pretty legit. The hours must take some getting used too I imagine.
What trade?32 been with my local for 7 and a half years now. Sucks last couple years It used to be so easy to get your hours and work was plentiful not anymore.

I spent a couple years in the IBEW local 27 here in Maryland back in the mid 90's. I made it through my first year apprenticeship/school but left because journeyman were telling me how they could be laid off for months at a time. Not really thinking it through then, I could have easily gotten by with side work being an electrician had I stuck with it.Reinforcing ironworker
