Working Conditions

The standard work week for heat and frost insulators is 40 hours (8 hours a day, 5 days a week). As with many careers in construction, there are peak periods that will require you to work overtime. The number of additional hours you work each week depends on the construction sector and region you work in, and will vary from one job to the next. If you work in maintenance, you may have to work in shifts. As a heat and frost insulator, you may work indoors or outdoors, usually with a team of other construction professionals. The job can be physically demanding – you may work on ladders or scaffolding and in confined areas.
