Freelancer working terms

• Register as an individual engineer or as a company (engineering firm or team)
• Complete your detailed profile: specialisation, tools, experience and portfolio evidence
• Pass a technical assessment or portfolio review by a domain specialist
• Provide accurate identity and, for companies, valid registration details

Advisors hand-match you to briefs that fit your specialisation. Engagements typically start with a trial of up to two weeks so the client can evaluate fit. Agree the trial scope, deliverables, duration and any compensation in writing with the client before you begin. A client may evaluate up to three candidates for one role.

• Only claim skills, tools and certifications you can demonstrate
• Respond to matched clients within two business days
• Meet agreed deadlines or communicate slippage early
• Respect client confidentiality, NDAs and intellectual property
• Never publish client designs, data or documents without written permission

You contract and invoice the client directly. VoltLancer does not hold funds, does not process project payments and is not a party to your agreement. You are responsible for your own taxes, social contributions and any local licensing requirements.

Optional freelancer plans exist purely for platform features — extra proposal credits, more portfolio slots, a verified badge and higher visibility. They are never a commission on your work. See pricing.

Clients and freelancers review each other after an engagement. Repeated non-delivery, misrepresentation of skills, off-platform circumvention of agreed terms, or abusive conduct may lead to suspension or removal from the network.
