Hi there! We're WebFX, a full-service digital marketing agency based in the US. We've been named the Best Place To Work in Pennsylvania 9 years in a row and we'd love to meet you. We're looking for people to join our mission to provide world-class digital marketing solutions to mid-size businesses around the world. We get super excited about driving business growth for our clients and are looking for people who take pride in their marketing work and enjoy having a little fun at the same time.
What We're Looking For
Do you have one of these desired skills, licenses or certifications?
Professional training and hands-on experience operating forklifts, loaders, cranes, motor graders or other heavy equipment common in construction, agriculture, etc.
Professional training and hands-on experience repairing and maintaining diesel engines in commercial vehicles or the above-mentioned machinery
Commercial Driver’s License
National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) certifications
National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) certification
OSHA Crane operator certification
OSHA Forklift operator certification
OSHA safety training courses for excavators, backhoes and similar equipment
International Union Of Operating Engineers (IUOE) credentials
National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification in diesel engines
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) certification for inspecting/maintaining commercial vehicles
Other certification or degree from an accredited technical school
Here’s what else you’ll need for this position:
Flexible scheduling — this position requires a minimum of 4 hours of remote availability per week.
Thoughtful written communication practices and a knack for explaining complex concepts in an accessible manner.
What You'll Do
Would you like a long-term freelance partnership?
Are you looking for projects you can complete from the comfort of your current location?
Does the flexibility of setting your own schedule and hours worked per week sound like a fit for you?
Responsibilities
As an experienced professional in your field, you’ll get to review a variety of interesting content projects to verify industry accuracy. You will:
Review content for correctness. Is the information in a project true for your industry?
Identify sections or points in copy that need clarification. Can a concept be better explained, and how?
Recommend and suggest changes that our top-notch team of writers and editors can implement within projects. What needs to change, and how, to ensure content is educational and factually accurate?
You know how to run, inspect or maintain the heavy equipment used in construction, roadwork, demolition and other demanding industries. You’ve got the right combination of formal training, on-the-job instruction and hands-on experience to use these tools safely and productively, and you know them inside and out. If someone asked you something specific to your area of expertise — like what attachment they needed for a construction job or what a strange behavior from their diesel engine might mean — you’d have a few solutions in mind right away. You enjoy explaining the reasoning behind your answer and sharing your mechanical knowledge.
You know when it’s important to use the correct terminology and when to break a subject down for ease of understanding. As an expert reviewer, you’ll ensure client content portrays accurate information and speaks to their readers, who may or may not have the same depth of knowledge.
Location
This position is fully remote! Work from anywhere as long as you have a great internet connection and a comfortable workspace.
Time commitment
How much time can you commit per week? We're looking for someone who can confidently commit at least ~4 hours per week — and if our client demand expands, increase to as much as ~15 hours per week.
Our project management team will align your workload based on your scheduling availability, which you’ll communicate to us each week. Here’s a review of the workflow: Projects should be accepted or declined within 48 hours of receiving them. After 48 hours with no response, they will be removed from your queue. If you accept the project, you will have 48 hours from the day of acceptance to complete your project review.
What You'll Get
Longevity: We love working with committed team members! Current team members in this position have been in the role for over 10 years.
Competitive Flexible Schedule: As an independent contractor, you get to choose your optimal work schedule and have the convenience of working from home.
Compensation: Hourly rates from $50 to $90 per hour. Compensation depends on certifications, education and work experience.
Make a Difference: WebFX strives to not only improve the lives of our clients and everyone who works for them, but to make a tangible difference on a global level as well. Through #FXBuilds, our goal is to positively change the lives of 10,000 people by 2024. Your work will contribute to #FXBuilds by helping us reach client goals!

Please know that your information is kept on file and you will be the first to be contacted when a position becomes available!
