Before you apply
This is travel-heavy, independent 1099 work. Contracts typically run one to two months before moving to the next project, and weather can occasionally pause work for a few days. Your first payment on a new contract usually arrives about two weeks after work begins, then payments run weekly, so we recommend having enough savings to cover your first few weeks comfortably. Most people who move on found they'd rather not spend months on the road or work as a contractor. The work itself is straightforward. If you enjoy travel, working independently, and being paid for your work, this role fits well.
