Offshore hydrographic surveyor; I know I know, you asked for office based engineers but I thought I’d throw it in anyway!
180 days a year off. Usually, but given the downturn I’ve worked 158 days this year so far. So, lots of time off but no solid rota this year so virtually impossible to plan although we can take 23 days booked holiday so summer holidays etc can be booked. Next year I’ll be off Angola on a 6 week on 6 week off rota.
Nine to five would destroy me now. How short are the weekends…?
Still, working Christmas and New Year this year so not all good.
On t’other hand it’ll be 200 days off this year by the end 8)
