Trade Jobs with Weekend Time Off?

I'm looking into trade jobs, but having weekends off is important to me. Are there specific trade jobs known for having good work-life balance or weekends free? Any insights would be appreciated!

Certain trade jobs have more consistent schedules that might allow you to take off weekends, typically ones that are performed in a normal business environment.

For instance, electricians who work inside buildings like schools or corporate offices generally work a standard Monday through Friday schedule since their work hours align with regular business hours.

Similarly, HVAC technicians that work in commercial or residential settings often work during the week. But keep in mind HVAC techs also have demand in emergencies, like in the middle of summer if an AC unit breaks down.

Another role to consider is a carpenter. Carpenters who are part of larger construction companies often have a standard work week because most construction work is planned out and scheduled in advance.

However, these are not hard and fast rules. Availability of weekend-free jobs can often depend on the local job market and the nature of the work. The more emergency services involved (like plumbers or emergency electricians), the more likely there may be to work weekends. For commercial environments, the work is more likely to fit into a Monday-Friday schedule.

Remember, these types of jobs often require certification or vocational school training, so make sure to look into the requirements in your area if you choose a particular trade. Good luck in your search!
