Why You’ll Love Working With Us

Work + Travel, Combined.
You’ll experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn all your own travel rewards while working directly with customers across North America. There is no office to report to, and you’ll be away from home while you’re working.

Fair Pay That Grows With You.
Starting salary $60,000–$75,000, depending on location, education, and experience.
You’ll also receive per diem for meals, mileage reimbursement, utilization bonuses, weekend bonuses and more. We don’t have endless budgets, but we do have endless trust, teamwork, and appreciation of knowing every person by name.

Room to Grow.
We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months. Learn, advance, and build a career that can take you in multiple directions. We will be your biggest cheerleaders of growth, even if you’re not with ProAutomated forever.

Real Benefits + Real Flexibility.
Health, dental, and life insurance, a matching 401(k), short & long term disability options, paid vacation, and flexible time off after 18 months. We take care of you, on and off the job.

We’re a smaller, people-first company where teamwork, adaptability, and humor are part of the job.
