Where engineers, technicians, and tradespeople build side income—one gig at a time."

by Nqobile Dube in Basildon, England, United Kingdom

The Problem:

"As a maintenance technician, I know how tough it is to monetize our skills outside the 9-to-5.

Freelance platforms like Fiverr aren’t built for us. Want to pick up a weekend repair gig? Sell a wiring

diagram you designed? Mentor an apprentice? Right now, there’s no platform that supports

tradespeople looking to grow their income—until GrindEngine."

The Solution:

GrindEngine is the first platform where:

✔ Technicians find paid gigs (e.g., factory repairs, equipment troubleshooting).

✔ Engineers sell templates (e.g., CAD files, PLC code, maintenance checklists).

✔ Mentors get paid to train the next generation.

Why This Works:

72% of UK tradespeople are looking for side income (Trade Skills Survey 2024).

No competition: Upwork/Fiverr are too broad; LinkedIn lacks gig-specific tools.

More cash in your pocket: Lower fees than corporate gig platforms
