Technicians aren't a resource we pull from. They're the reason this company operates, and that shows in how we run our partnerships. We're contracting 1099 technicians for fleet and transit technology deployments across the Southeast, East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast. This posting is live because we have active projects and need people on the ground now. When it's filled, it comes down.

Don't Come From Low-Voltage? You May Still Be a Fit. Some of the best installers we've worked with started in other trades. If you work with your hands, understand vehicle systems, and can operate on your own, the gap is smaller than you think. Diesel mechanics. Vehicle systems, harness work, and working clean in tight spaces carry over directly. Car audio / 12V installers. If you've run power, ground, and signal wire from a schematic, this is a natural next step. Auto body techs. Panel removal, interior work, and finished-quality standards translate well. Work Market / Field Nation techs. You already know the model. We're another consistent client on your books. What matters is that you're self-directed and take pride in what you leave behind on a job. We'll help with the rest.

Travel:

This Is a Travel Role Every engagement involves at minimum regional travel (neighboring states), and deployments span our full national footprint. We respect your time on the road, and we back that up: Travel hours are compensated Lodging is covered on overnight and multi-day deployments You handle your own transportation to and from sites If travel doesn't fit your situation right now, hold this posting and come back when it does. Compensation $27.50 to $33.00/hr contract rate, with travel hours compensated separately. Invoices are paid on a biweekly cycle, so plan for your first payment to land roughly 2 to 3 weeks after your first deployment.

Project onboarding:

new contractors complete a short paid ramp-up, typically 1 to 2 weeks at a flat $700/week, covering system specs and documentation standards before live deployments. Once you're cleared, your full contract rate applies. Project volume varies with deployment schedules, but most active contractors see full weekly workloads. Shift windows are set by fleet yard operations: some sites run days (8AM to 5PM), others run nights (6PM to 2AM). You'll know the window before you accept a deployment, and flexibility across both will keep your calendar full. What 1099 Means Here This is a contract position, and we want you walking in with eyes open. You're running your own operation: You handle your own federal and state taxes. Nothing is withheld from your pay. No benefits, PTO, or W-2. You invoice Birdeye for completed work and travel hours. Net payment terms apply. Some projects require proof of general liability insurance. You're free to take on other clients. Many of our best contractors do. For the right technician, this is the better model. You control your schedule, you accept the projects you want, and you're paid for your skill, not your seniority. Where This Goes If You're Good Contractors who deliver consistent quality and run their side like a business have a real track with us: becoming a vendor. That means managing your own crew, receiving subcontracted deployments from us directly, and operating your own company with Birdeye as a client. It's earned through performance, and we built the track on purpose. The technicians who grow with us deserve more than a rate card. How We Hire (Fast) Our projects don't wait, so neither do we.
