Straight answers

Working in Chicago with OnSiteO

I live near West Loop. Do I have to take jobs in Elk Grove Village and Northwest Indiana?

No. Set the travel radius you want and pick the jobs you take; a site outside your area is your call.

What should I expect from Chicago job postings?

Each posting lists the tools, access and hours for that site. Common sites here include suburban campuses and large logistics warehouses.

Can I join as a service company or crew?

Yes. Read the service companies page about crew accounts. Each person assigned to a job must meet that job’s requirements.

What should I add to my profile?

The work you actually do, the tools and test equipment you bring, how far you travel, and current licenses or certifications. A badge appears only after that check is completed.
