Project PAW · The Bench
Every kind of work.
Every kind of hands.
Snow and shovels, trucks and trailers, mops and paintbrushes, laptops and leashes — Fredericton needs more done than any one crew can do. The Bench is where the work meets the people. Bring your tools to the tool bench, tell us the jobs you want — and when a job comes in that needs what’s on your bench, you get the call.
Join the BenchThe Work We Hunt
If people around here need it done and somebody around here can do it, it belongs on this bench. These are the kinds of gigs the house hunts and manages — and the list grows every time somebody asks for a kind we haven’t named yet.
Home & Yard
Snow clearing, lawns and gardens, firewood, cleanups, seasonal changeovers.
Inside the House
Cleaning, organizing, painting, furniture assembly, the odd jobs nobody gets to.
Moving & Hauling
Moves, loads, dump runs, big-item deliveries. The truck-and-plow slot on this bench is held by Brewers Load & Labour Inc. — one slot, like every other.
Wheels & Runs
Errands, pickups and drop-offs, airport runs, courier work across the city.
Care & Cover
Pet sitting, house sitting, check-ins, event help, a steady pair of hands where one is needed.
Skills & Screens
Tech setup and fixes, photos, design, a small business’s online presence, kept up.
Why People Join
The work comes to you
No bidding wars, no chasing posts at midnight. Gigs land on the bench, and the bench calls the person who fits.
Dispatched on fit
Fit means tools. When a job comes in, our job matcher checks the bench first — who has the tools this job needs. The more tools you’ve listed, the more jobs you match.
Everything named first
Every gig arrives with its deal sheet: the job, the price, and the mediation cut — all in the open before you commit to anything.
Still your own boss
You stay independent — your name, your gear, your hours. The bench fills your gaps; it never owns your week.
How It Works
Lay your tools on the bench
Fill out the form: how to reach you, the jobs you want, your insurance and certifications — and every tool you own, all of them. The more and better tools you put on the form, the higher the chance our job matcher picks you when a job comes in. No fee to join, no obligation to take any job.
The matcher checks the bench
A job comes in. We check the bench: whose listed tools fit this job? Then we dispatch the match, deal sheet in front of them — and supervision on the job belongs to the dispatched lead. One lead, one standard.
Do the work, get paid
The price was named before you started. Project PAW’s cut paid for the finding and the organizing — it stood on the sheet from the start.
Slots on the Tool Bench
Your slot is your tools. Every slot is one business, one pair of hands, dispatched on fit. A kind of work we haven’t listed is a kind nobody has asked us for yet — the form asks what jobs you want, and that is how new slots open.
Questions People Ask
What kinds of gigs does the bench take?
Any honest work people around Fredericton need done that the house can organize well — the kinds above, and new kinds as they’re asked for. If you do something people need, there is a slot with your name on it.
Does joining the bench cost anything?
No fee to join, and no obligation to take any job. Work is offered job by job, each with its deal sheet in front of you — job, price, and the mediation cut named — before you commit.
Who do I work for on a bench job?
Yourself. Bench contractors are independent businesses and independent workers, never employees. Supervision on the job belongs to the dispatched lead for that job.
How are jobs dispatched?
On tools. Our job matcher reads the bench: the person whose listed tools and skills fit the job gets picked. No one contractor owns the bench and none is its default — and a thin form is a thin chance, so list everything you’ve got.
What is the mediation cut?
The share Project PAW takes on a job it found and organized — for the finding and the organizing. It is named on the deal sheet for every job, before anyone commits. No surprises after the work is done.
Get On the Bench
How to reach you, what tools you run, what jobs you want, what insurance and certifications you carry — we use exactly that to pair you with the jobs we find. The matcher can only pick what it can see — so put it all on the bench. Two minutes on the form, and the next gig that fits you has your name on the call.
Open the Contractor FormThe bench is forming now — every kind of slot, filled demand-first. Nobody is approached about a specific job without its deal sheet.
