I have worked with a few steam turbine engineers who used to work for companies like GE and MD&A. Their travel definitely was not glamorous. Some power plants are not in the nicest of places. They would be at a plant for anywhere from 8 weeks (for an overhaul) to one year (for a new power plant construction). And those were 12 hour days, 6 to 7 days per week.
