The hard parts
- Float Pool shifts are days/nights variable with schedule listed as TBA
- Sign-on and relocation each require a 24-month commitment
- Local corridor congestion and infrastructure strain from rapid growth
- Flood and lahar hazard maps are part of due diligence for anyone relocating
What to weigh
Float Pool shifts are days and nights variable with the schedule listed as TBA, and local roads see congestion on busy corridors as growth strains infrastructure—plus you will want to check flood and lahar hazard maps before you settle.
