In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings

Dear brother in Islam, thanks for your question. May Allah help you observe His teachings.

When Muslims apply for a job, they have to do their best to avoid those kinds of jobs that contravene their religious practices or beliefs. Unfortunately, many Muslims nowadays sacrifice their religious obligations for the sake of fleeting worldly gains.  

Answering your question, Dr. Salah Al-Sawy, secretary-general of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America (AMJA), said,

There is no good in a work that distracts a Muslim from Jumu`ah Prayer. On the authority of Ibn Mas`ud (may Allah be pleased with him), Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to people who withheld from attending Jumu`ah Prayer: "I was on the verge of commanding a man to lead the people in Prayer; then I would burn down the houses of the men who withhold from attending Jumu`ah [i.e., Jumu`ah Prayer] upon them."

Also, Abu Hurairah and Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that they heard the Messenger of Allah say while he was on his pulpit, "People shall desist from abandoning Jumu`ah Prayers, or Allah will set a seal upon their hearts, and then they will be of those who are unmindful."

Moreover, on the authority of the Prophet's Companion Abu Ja`d Ad-Dameery (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet said, "[For] whoever leaves three Jumu`ahs out of negligence, Allah will seal his heart."

Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said, "Whoever leaves three consecutive Jumu`ahs has thrown Islam behind his back."

Hence, it is not befitting for you to take a job that consistently distracts you from performing Jumu`ah Prayer. So, either you manage the situation with the administration so that you are allowed to perform Jumu`ah Prayer, or you consider this job a temporary one and exert great effort in searching for a lawful alternative that enables you to perform this obligation. When you find that alternative, you should go for it at the first opportunity.

May Allah bless you, increase you in cautiousness and success, and save you from distress. Amen.
