Local Nerd jobs in Tulsa & Broken Arrow
Tulsa and Broken Arrow is the second-biggest metro in the state: Tulsa, Jenks, Bixby, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Glenpool and Broken Arrow, and out to Bristow, Beggs and Hominy. If you live anywhere in the metro, this is the market you'd apply to, and the drives between visits are short.
Distances are measured from downtown Tulsa. The towns below sit in Tulsa, Creek, Wagoner and Osage 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.

Beggs, Terlton, Hominy, Slick, Bristow, Wynona, Depew.
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 Tulsa page.
Tulsa works like Oklahoma City does: dense, quick between visits, and a customer base that ranges from downtown apartments to the older houses in Midtown with plaster walls and no signal past the kitchen. Broken Arrow and Jenks add a large run of newer homes full of smart-home gear that was installed by a builder and explained to nobody. Out past Sapulpa it turns rural quickly and the drives get long.
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. Evenings and weekends are when a lot of customers want somebody to come out.
Those are the Muskogee market, measured from downtown Muskogee. If you live that way, apply to Muskogee instead.
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.
