SlabRiver is actively expanding our network of independent consultants and 1099 subcontractors to fulfill growing contract obligations across critical infrastructure sectors.
This is not an application for employment. SlabRiver engages qualified professionals as independent 1099 subcontractors on a per-assignment basis.
No guarantees of work or benefits. Joining the SlabRiver consultant network does not guarantee assignment, minimum hours, or any ongoing engagement. Work is offered as contracts are awarded and your qualifications match client needs.
Consultants are responsible for their own insurance — including professional liability, general liability, and any coverage required for specific assignments. SlabRiver does not provide health insurance, workers' compensation, or other employee benefits to 1099 subcontractors.
U.S. citizenship and background checks. Due to the nature of our contracts — which serve critical infrastructure, government, and regulated sectors — team members must be United States citizens and must be able to pass a comprehensive background check when required by a specific assignment or client.
