90% on-site. The schedule is quite fluid. I will describe a typical week.
Monday – prep work 9 to 5. But can be split shift.
Tuesday – Switch Migration – typically 10Pm to finish. But as 24X7 spaces are completed it can start earlier.
Wednesday – prep work 9 to 5. But can be split shift.
Thursday - Switch Migration – typically 10Pm to finish. But as 24X7 spaces are completed it can start earlier.
Friday - prep work 9 to 5. But can be split shift.
