But I don't think I've worked a job that Averages less than 45 hours a week since entering the professional field (and the lower number was when working for the government).

EPCs(Engineering design companies) typically get straight time for billable hours in excess of 40 a week. The EP makes money as long as they have budget in the project as the hours are just sold on a multiplier of salary. They actually make more in those cases because benefits and overheads are constant. So they much prefer to have people straight time than higher more staff. Producers get kick ass bonuses in exchange for that flexibility.
