Post work

Every job shows the rate, the per diem, and who pays.

The work is out there — it's just scattered across a dozen Facebook groups and buried in prose. Everything here was filled out on a form instead, so you can search it, sort it by what it actually pays, and get a text the minute matching work posts anywhere you'll travel.

Nothing here is a real job yet. Every listing below is a marked example, showing the shape of what gets posted. Real work from subs and primes lands here as they start using it.

Buried drops with a hard frost window. Restoration and seed in the rate. We build a two-week float into the duration and expect you to as well, because the ground decides the schedule here, not the prime.
