JOB OVERVIEW

We're a California landscaping company that bids on government contracts (cities, counties, state agencies). You'll find bid opportunities, gather the details, and prepare the bid packets. I handle pricing; you handle everything else.

What you'll do:

Find relevant bids on portals like BidNet, PlanetBids, and Cal eProcure
-Use AI tools to pull key info from RFP documents into a tracker
-Email agencies to confirm missing details (award amounts, pre-bid dates, required documents)
-Fill out bid packets in DocHub (I provide the price)
-Submit completed bids at least one week before the deadline
Target: 4 accurate bids submitted per pay period

You must have:

-Excellent written English (you'll email government agencies directly)
-Sharp attention to detail (one missing document can disqualify a bid)
-Comfort with Google Sheets and AI tools (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini)
-Reliability, you hit deadlines without being reminded

Nice to have: experience with government procurement, RFPs, bid prep, or US-based clients.

Pay: $5/hr USD to start, with performance-based raises up to $10/hr as you master the role, no time requirements, purely based on your work. Strong performers who grow into a lead role can go higher. Plus a $25–$50 bonus every time a bid you prepared wins a contract. Long-term opportunity with real room to grow.

Hours: flexible, but you must overlap a few US Pacific business hours each day for deadlines.

TO APPLY, reply with ALL of the following. Applications missing any of these will not be read:

1. The word GROUNDSKEEPER at the very top of your message

2. Any experience you have with research, data entry, admin, or government/procurement work

3. Which of these you've used, if any: BidNet, PlanetBids, OpenGov, Cal eProcure

4. Your time zone and the hours you can work in US Pacific time
