Local Nerd jobs in Woodward & Northwest Oklahoma
Woodward is the far northwest, and it's the town the whole corner drives to. The market is measured from downtown Woodward: Mooreland, Sharon, Vici, Fort Supply and Gage close in, then Shattuck, Laverne, Buffalo, Seiling, Waynoka and Alva, and out to the Texas and Kansas towns at the edges. If you live in Woodward or anywhere in the northwest corner, this is the market you'd apply to.
Distances are measured from downtown Woodward. The towns below sit in Woodward, Woods, Harper, Ellis, Dewey and Major 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.

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 Woodward page.
Out here the driving is a big part of the job. Towns are small and far apart, the houses are spread out, and a visit is often a long drive, which is why the outer travel bands pay what they do. It's wind-farm country, with ranch offices and a lot of satellite and fixed-wireless internet to work around, and customers who are glad to see anybody come out.
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.
We won't promise you booking volume, here or anywhere. What we can tell you is how it pays: the outer bands carry the highest hourly rates we offer, and a lot of this market sits in them. You choose which bands you take.
Yes. Follett and Higgins on the Texas side are in the middle band, and Lipscomb, Darrouzett and Canadian in Texas, and Englewood, Ashland, Coldwater and Hardtner in Kansas, are in the outer one. The service area is measured in miles from downtown Woodward, so a state line doesn't stop it.
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.
