I was hired during construction of the power plant. During construction, I was working 7- 12s. Then during start up and commissioning. It was 16 hr days for 6 months. Only had one day a month off. And here I am wanting to do another start up and commissioning. 6 months of work would be over $200,000 plus per diem. And that would be around $100,000.
