About the Chance

Field Forge Group, a US-based industrial IoT deployment company, is recruiting a reliable, motivated independent contractor for a high-volume IoT device installation project throughout Greater Vancouver and surrounding British Columbia communities.

This is a defined project offering substantial earning potential for someone who is organized, mechanically inclined and comfortable visiting multiple customer locations daily.

In-person training will be provided before independent installation work begins.

We are looking for someone who can start promptly, maintain strong availability and prioritize completion of the assigned project.

Project Size

- Approximately 480 individual customer locations
- Approximately 505 IoT device installations
- Each location may require one or more device installations.
- Each installation typically requires 10–15 minutes, excluding travel and documentation.
- Customer stops will be organized into geographic groups to minimize unnecessary driving.

Geographic Breakdown

The territory includes installation locations throughout Greater Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

Primary service areas:

- Surrey / South Surrey / White Rock: Southern Metro Vancouver customer locations.
- Langley / Township of Langley: Eastern suburban installation clusters.
- Vancouver / Burnaby / New Westminster: Urban customer locations with opportunities for higher daily installation density.
- Richmond / Delta: Southwest Metro Vancouver installation clusters.
- Coquitlam / Port Coquitlam / Port Moody: Northeastern Metro Vancouver customer locations.
- Maple Ridge / Pitt Meadows: Eastern Lower Mainland installation areas.
- Abbotsford / Chilliwack and surrounding communities: More distant customer clusters, where applicable.
- North Vancouver / West Vancouver: Additional locations, where assigned.

The exact number of customer stops in each municipality will be provided with the final installation route. Some geographic areas may contain substantially more locations than others.

The contractor will generally work through one geographic cluster before moving to the next, rather than repeatedly traveling across the region.

Preapproved company-paid hotel accommodations may be available for distant installation blocks when overnight stays materially reduce travel time.

Estimated Driving Requirements

- Approximately 2,600 km (1,615 miles) of total project driving.




- Approximately 100–155 km (60–95 miles) of driving per productive day at a 20–30-installation pace.
- Route-wide average of approximately 5.4 km (3.4 miles) of driving per customer location, including estimated returns to the operating base.
- Dense urban installation days may involve significantly less driving.
- Rural or distant customer clusters may require greater daily distances.

These are preliminary geographic routing estimates, not verified road-network distances. Actual mileage will depend on the final assigned locations, traffic and contractor's starting point.

Contractors provide their own vehicle and cover regular fuel, maintenance, insurance and commuting expenses. Fuel and mileage are not reimbursed.

Compensation

US$20 per successfully completed and approved installation (approximately CA$28.53 per device).

- Approximately 505 available installations.
- Estimated total project earnings: US$10,100 / CA$14,405.
- Multiple devices installed at a single customer location are paid individually.
- Compensation is per accepted installation, not hourly.
- Higher productivity allows the project to be completed sooner.

Illustrative gross daily earnings:

- 20 installations: Approximately CA$571.
- 25 installations: Approximately CA$713.
- 30 installations: Approximately CA$856.

These are estimates before the contractor's vehicle expenses, fuel and taxes. Daily earnings are not guaranteed.

- At 20 installations/day: Approximately 26 working days.
- At 25 installations/day: Approximately 21 working days.
- At 30 installations/day: Approximately 17 working days.

Our preferred completion target is approximately 3–4 weeks from the start of installation work, with consistent availability.
