Why join

Talent Badger is a hub for engineering and subject-matter expertise: specialists, consultants and engineering firms in one place.
Companies start projects here, and an engineer (Peter Sords, Kyros Engineering) matches every request by hand.
You set your own rate and availability, and you choose the work you take. Keep your name confidential if your day job needs it.
Free to join. It's early, so we won't promise a flood of work, but your expertise gets seen and you hear first when something fits.

What happens next

You get an email with a private link to add more whenever you like: résumé, projects, skill depth. Each addition sharpens your rating.
An engineer reviews it, usually within a few business days.
When a project fits, you hear about it first, with the scope, before anything is agreed.
