This worries me 3 ways:

shifts longer than 8 hours show significant attention span issues
you didn't specify day or night shifts, the latter of which is massively detrimental because of the circadian rhythm and altering your day vs night
maybe the job didn't specify, and that's worse

Worst of all would be a 2-2-4 day/night/off schedule, as that combines a too-long shift, a wake-sleep change, and then a too-long shift in darkness.

This kind of job spec, unless they specify it's only mildly damaging, could be the most toxic format of all!

P.s. I can't believe I'm wishing for it to be the minimally-toxic-but-still-fucking-toxic 4x12 daytime slog.

I've not looked into it, because I'm not anywhere near that industry, but I don't see anything about it being a shift rotation.
