Local Nerd jobs in Oklahoma City & the Metro
Oklahoma City is the biggest metro in the state, and this market is its core: Oklahoma City, Del City, Midwest City, Bethany, Yukon, Mustang, Choctaw, Harrah and Spencer, with El Reno and Minco just past it. If you live in the metro, this is the market you'd apply to, and the drives between visits are short.
Distances are measured from downtown Oklahoma City. The towns below sit in Oklahoma, Canadian, Cleveland, Logan, Grady and Pottawatomie counties. Every market reaches 75 miles from its downtown in three travel bands, and the farther bands pay a higher hourly rate because the drive is longer. You choose which bands you take, and you can change it later.
Oklahoma City, Del City, Midwest City, Bethany, Wheatland, Spencer, Nicoma Park, Yukon, Mustang, Choctaw, Harrah, Union City, McLoud.
El Reno, Minco, Concho.
Not sure which market your town belongs to? Apply for the city nearest you and tell us where you live. The markets overlap on purpose, and you tell us which queues you want bookings from. What customers here are told is on the Oklahoma City page.
Metro work is dense, which changes the shape of the day: short drives, several visits stacked in an afternoon, and a customer base that runs from first-apartment renters to retirees in the older neighborhoods. The next visit is usually a short drive away.
You keep the majority of every booking, and every tip is yours. You see the split up front. Tips are paid out weekly, less only card processing and a small handling cost.
You set your own availability. Open the times that suit you in Nerd HQ. A few evenings a week or full time, that part is your call.
Bookings come through the Nerd HQ app. Customers book the open time you publish, with buffer time built in around each visit.
Nobody negotiates money at the door. Every booking takes a deposit up front and holds the card. The customer signs off on your phone at the end and the rest charges itself.
You're independent. Your own tools, any reliable and presentable vehicle, and free to work elsewhere whenever you like.
You have a team behind you. You get the Nerd HQ app, a direct line to HQ, a team that meets over video, and other Local Nerds to ask when something's strange.
Yes. You publish your own hours in the Nerd HQ app, and visits are only booked inside them. A few evenings a week or full time, that part is your call.
Apply to the market whose downtown is closest to your house and tell us your ZIP. The metro is split into three markets, north, south and central, and they overlap heavily. You can sit on more than one queue.
Apply online. About five minutes. No resume needed.
We read it. A real person reads every application, and if it looks like a fit, we reach out.
A short pre-screen on your phone. Two quick videos and one typed answer, about fifteen minutes. A person watches every one.
A fifteen-minute video call. To meet you and walk through the role together.
Background check, and we pay for it. Only after we've talked. You enter your details with the screening provider, never with us.
Onboarding, and you're live. Your Nerd HQ account, your hours and a short orientation, then your first booking.

This page describes an independent contractor opportunity and is not an offer of employment. Local Nerds are independent contractors, not employees: you set your own availability, use your own tools and vehicle, and are free to work elsewhere. Compensation is a revenue share paid on completed bookings. Nothing on this page guarantees any level of income or booking volume, in this market or any other.
