Field Based

​A field-based employee is someone who doesn't work in the traditional office environment; usually, a field-based continuously works at changing temporary locations, with tenures at the location ranging from a few days to months. When a field-based employee finishes up one project, they move on to the next one at a different location.

Field-based employees may report back to people who work in the main office of the company, but they usually don't report there daily like traditional office workers. The site where the field-based employee works varies from industry to industry. For example, construction workers who work at construction sites are field workers; the construction site can be considered their field. There are field-based employees in other industries too, such as manufacturing, warehouses, retail, packaging and transportation. Truck drivers and traveling salespeople, for example, are both field-based employees.
