Deployments, Schedules, & Travel

Deployments:

Deployments to bases will vary based on the scope of work needed and travel scheduling. This is a project based opportunity and flexibility is required. Each deployment will be slightly different as each bases volume and needs are different.

As a reference, the last travel tech project had deployments that were roughly 3 weeks. Contractors would then return home for the weekend, and then be deployed out for another 3 weeks of support.

There might be deployment gaps where you are off work for a week due to base support requests and travel/scheduling logistics.

Hours:

This is an hours worked, hours paid contract. There is no PTO included in the role.

Hours will vary each week based on the deployment. Anticipated hours are 30-40 per work week.

As a reference, under the last travel tech project contractors typically saw 30-40 hours per week with occasional weeks off as base scheduling demands shifted.

Travel:

If you are local to the base you are supporting , under that deployment you would not qualify for travel expenses.

If you are over 50 miles from the work location, depending on distance- flights, hotels, and rental vehicles will be booked and provided by Apex Systems. Incidentals incurred during the deployment (gas, meals, parking, etc.) will be reimbursed based upon receipts. Travel time is considered worked time and is billable.
