Summary
This role is SF-preferred and on-site, but we’re open to US-based candidates for the right person. This role is not eligible for relocation support. As a Business Operations Contractor, you are the person who gets our early tests into the real world. You’ll help own the thesis, and more importantly, you’ll make it happen on the ground. That means getting pilots into the market, doing the fieldwork, and being in the room when we run a test for the first time. You move fast with whatever’s available and you’re comfortable doing work that doesn’t scale yet, because that’s how we learn. Our ideas are only as good as our ability to put them in front of real customers.
Responsibilities
- Get pilots into market: own the logistics that turn a concept into a live test — sourcing partners, scheduling, locations, and the details no one else is tracking.
- Do the fieldwork: show up in person where the test happens — a home, a market, a partner site — and do the hands-on work to make it real.
- Keep the trains running: track tasks, dates, and open items across several tests at once so nothing slips, and flag blockers early.
- Capture what we learn: write up customer conversations and pilot results clearly enough that the team can make a fast call on what to scale and what to kill.
- Example deliverables includes:
- Recruit: for a 12-month rental test, recruit hosts in a target market and talk to landlords and tenants about their pain points and what we could solve.
- Vet: for a “Reviewed by Company” test, find a third-party inspection partner and run on-site training with them on how to inspect and review a home.
Your Expertise
Scrappy and hands-on: You move with the resources you have, not the ones you wish you had. No task is beneath you — you’ll cold-call a host, drive to a site, or build the tracker at midnight to keep a test moving.
Comfortable in the field: You are comfortable going into market and working with the local team or contracts to get tests off the ground.
Bias to action: You’d rather run a rough test this week than a perfect one next quarter, and you know when that trade-off is right.
Organized under ambiguity: You juggle several half-defined projects at once, hold the details, and stay calm when the plan changes.
Open-minded and resourceful: You find workarounds when the obvious path is blocked. You partner, borrow, and improvise to get to signal cheaply.
Clear communicator: You write up what you learned plainly and fast, so others can act on it.
Requirements
L9–L11 equivalent, with a track record of getting things done in operations, growth, launch, consulting, or a startup with little structure. This is a contract role — we weight hustle and judgment as heavily as title or tenure. Pay range is $56- $61 per hour with full benefits available, including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/life insurance, 401K, parental leave, and more. Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets. Pay is based on several factors including market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
THE PROMISES WE MAKE: At Crystal Equation, we empower people and advance technology initiatives by building trust. Your recruiter will prep you for the interview, obtain feedback, guide you through any necessary paperwork and provide everything you need for a successful start. We will serve to empower you along the way and provide the path for your professional journey. For more information regarding our Privacy Policy, please visit crystalequation.com/privacy.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in General Contractor
Verify your role meets specialty occupation
H-1B approval for General Contractor positions depends on proving the job requires a specific bachelor's degree. Check the O*NET profile for your occupation code and confirm your employer's job description references degree-specific duties, not general construction oversight.
Request the certified LCA before signing
Your employer must file a Labor Condition Application with DOL and receive certification before submitting your H-1B petition to USCIS. Ask to review the LCA wage level and job classification so you can confirm it accurately reflects your role.
Target employers with active construction H-1B history
Use Migrate Mate to filter General Contractor roles by employers who have filed H-1B petitions for construction management positions. Past filing history signals that the company understands specialty occupation requirements for your field.
Prepare a credential evaluation for your degree
If your construction or engineering degree was earned outside the U.S., get a course-by-course credential evaluation from a NACES-member evaluator. USCIS increasingly scrutinizes foreign degrees in construction fields, and a detailed equivalency report strengthens your petition.
Watch for project-based employer complications
Many General Contractor employers place workers at third-party construction sites, which can trigger H-1B itinerary requirements. USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence if the petition lacks end-client contracts or project location details for the full visa period.
Confirm prevailing wage matches your actual duties
Run the OFLC Wage Search for your specific SOC code and work location before accepting an offer. Wages for General Contractors vary significantly by metro area, and a Level I wage on your LCA may undercut your petition if your duties correspond to a higher level.
H-1B Visa General Contractor: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a General Contractor job qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
It depends on how the role is defined. A General Contractor position qualifies when the employer requires a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture as a minimum entry requirement. Roles that accept any degree or substitute years of experience without a degree requirement are harder to defend under USCIS's specialty occupation standard. Your employer's job description carries significant weight in the adjudication.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for General Contractor roles?
Large construction firms, engineering and design-build companies, and general contracting divisions of real estate developers are the most common H-1B sponsors in this field. Migrate Mate lists General Contractor positions filtered by employers with documented H-1B filing history, so you can focus your search on companies that have successfully sponsored this role type before.
Can my employer file my H-1B if I'll be working across multiple job sites?
Yes, but the petition requires more documentation. USCIS expects an itinerary or a detailed description of each project location when a General Contractor works across multiple sites. Your employer should include end-client contracts, project timelines, and confirmation that the specialty occupation duties remain consistent across all sites. Incomplete location documentation is a common reason for Requests for Evidence in construction H-1B cases.
What happens to my H-1B status if my construction project ends early?
If your employer terminates your employment before the petition period ends, you have a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsor, change status, or depart the U.S. Your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition before the grace period expires. For General Contractors on fixed-term projects, it's worth clarifying in advance whether your employer will support a transfer if the project timeline shifts.
How does DOL's prevailing wage requirement affect General Contractor H-1B petitions?
Your employer must certify through DOL that your offered wage meets or exceeds the prevailing wage for your occupation code and work location. For General Contractors, the wage level assigned on the Labor Condition Application must reflect your actual duties. A mismatch between Level I wages and supervisory or project management responsibilities can draw scrutiny from USCIS, since it may suggest the role doesn't require specialized expertise.
