That’s the lineup for this week. Keep an eye on these opportunities and remember to apply sooner rather than later. Good luck out there!

“Apply promptly” — a short SWMM/EPANET demo boosted remote callbacks; time zones can pinch.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‌‌‌​⁠​⁠‌​‌‌‌⁠‌‍⁠‌​⁠‍‌‌‍‍‌​⁠​⁠‌​⁠‌‌‍‌‍‌​​⁠‌​⁠‌‌​⁠⁠‌​​‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Some of these posts vanish in hours — — so I keep a 1‑page water/wastewater modeling brief ready with calibration metrics (NSE/RMSE), UTC availability, and a 48‑hour proposal turnaround. Pairing that with a sanitized EPANET.inp sample and this reference EPANET | US EPA has sped up callbacks on the “remote gigs are up for grabs” roles; if your EPANET is rusty, a clear data‑needs note is a decent stopgap.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌⁠​⁠​​‌⁠‍‌‌​‍​‌​‍​‌⁠‍​‌‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‌​​‌‌‌​‍‌‌​​​⁠‌‌​‍⁠‌‌​‌‍‌​‌⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I keep COI, W‑9, and NDA templates ready; ‘real-time’ gigs move fast — some require vendor onboarding.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‌⁠‌​⁠​​⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠​⁠​‌‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠‌⁠​​‌⁠‍​​⁠​⁠‌‌‍‌‌​​‍‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌​‌⁠‌‍‌​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

@Guide +1 — For ‘real-time’ remote gigs, I attach a 2‑min ModelBuilder GIF; boosts replies, but portals strip attachments.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠​‍⁠‌‌​⁠​‌‌‌‌‌​‍​‌‍‌⁠‌‌‍‍‌‌⁠⁠‌⁠‍‍‌⁠​⁠‌‌​‌‌​⁠​​⁠​​‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌​‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

On the water/wastewater modeling roles, I’ve had better luck when I drop a plain-text link to an ArcGIS Online web app showing a SWMM run plus QA flags; fits the ‘apply promptly’ window because PMs can open it on mobile. If a portal mangles URLs, I lead with the tool versions (ICM 2024.1, ArcGIS Pro 3.3) and a 30-min slot; @james_carter79’s quick visual idea works, but the version line bumps replies.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‍‍‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‍‌‌‌⁠‌​​⁠​⁠‌‌​⁠​⁠‌‌​‍‌‌‌⁠‌⁠‍‌‌​‍​‌​‌‌‌⁠‍‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‍‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Been getting faster callbacks on those remote roles by putting a 120‑char project blurb and a Calendly link in the first line — teams are moving fast this week. If a portal blocks links, I drop “available 15 hrs/wk, start 1/16, rate $95/hr, PST” and it outperforms a long portfolio. @katie_lee78 your plain‑text approach is spot on; I’ve also had luck pasting the ArcGIS Online item ID instead of the full URL.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​​‌‌‌​‌​⁠‌‍‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍‌​‌‍‍⁠‌‌‌​‌⁠​‍‌‌‌​​⁠‌‍‌​⁠​‌‌​‍‌‍‍⁠‌​‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

And @patricia_lee33 What’s bumped my response rate on those water roles is leading with a one‑liner like ‘ICM + SWMM 5.2 | Python/arcpy | MGD units | UTC‑5 availability’; if the form cuts it off, I echo the same line in a quick LinkedIn message.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌​⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍‌‌‌‌‍‌⁠‍‌‌​‌‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠​‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍‌‌​​‌‌‌​​⁠​‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌‍​‍⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I add hourly range + start date; ‘real-time’ posts vanish fast — include EPANET samples. If NDA-sensitive, blur client names.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​​⁠​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‍‌‌⁠‌⁠‌‌‍​‌​​‌‌‌⁠⁠‌‌​‍‌‌​‌‌⁠​​‌​​‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​
