Working Hours at PROBUILD

On average I work about 11-12 hours a day. No One will say don't go home early, but to complete the assigned responsibilities to a good standard the hours need to be put in. The industry is quite full on so a lot of your day gets taken up on site, but there are many things that need to be completed at your desk also.

Hours are quite standardized, approximately 10 hour days, 5 to 6 days a week. But depending on the stage of the project these hours can increase on demand and workload. The advantage is that your hard work is recognized and if you require flexible time, they are willing to work with you to accommodate.

General hours are 7am to 6pm with Saturdays.

Long work hours however I feel this is consistent across the industry, not just Probuild.

The hours can be long in construction - but if you enjoy the work this won't be as demanding as you anticipate.

The hours varies, however, the average is quite high. There's little flexibility with work hours.

Very long hours. Company is flexible if you need to leave but only if you manage your workload. Workload is often too demanding to take any time away.

Construction is not flexible on hours

Currently I am on a quiet project my hours are 7 - 4:30 however when the job was busy it was 7 - 5:30/6.

On average I work 11 hours a day, and every second Saturday. These are very long hours and longer than most team members. However, by doing the long hours I am able to learn as much as possible!

Work is very flexible if you have sporting commitments, doctors appointments, car service etc. However, the regular hours are long. Generally 7am-5:30/6pm. Often you will also have to work Saturdays.

The hardest part of the job is the work/life balance. On average the hours are not to bad but for example when your doing a long spell of 6 days a week over a few months leading up to PC it can take a toll, not only physically and emotionally but peoples family lifes.

If I asked to leave the office half an hour or an hour early they would most likely be ok with that as long as it was infrequent. I would feel uncomfortable asking unless I had a serious reason.

Hours are generally long, however the company is flexible when it comes to leave or personal requirements.

I would love to work a 40 hour week. This is never the case at work. Weekends are painful.
