How this role works

  1. You join the bench. You apply with your weekly hours and start time. We set your hourly rate from your résumé, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
  2. A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
  3. You work remote, paid from the contract. ~80–600 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

  • Respond on call to alarms, communication losses and failed equipment around the Cherry Hill area
