This could be for a job in the Groom Lake tower. Creech, Nellis and NTS jobs indicate their locations respectively, while this advert is kind of shady regarding where the job is located. Groom Lake would be a place where you would have to stay overnight as needed since you can't realistically drive home at night due to road hazards of the bovine kind.

Got an actual link to the ad?

There is the link. I copied everything since ads don't stay on the internet forever.

Makes sense. My cousin works wierd schedules like 4 on 3 off 5 on 2 off. Things like that. 3-4 days away from home would make sense for groom. Plus, didn't atc go through a recent change regarding rest and work cycles?

The FAA took a dim view of controllers sleeping on the job, so they made some changes. But I think Groom, being Groom, just does what it wants.

CSC had/has a few contracts around the range, some through Dyncorp. [Dyncorp appears to be a company that is 80% legit and 20% pure sleaze, which the sleaze being military guard jobs similar to Backwater/Xe/Academi.") You can read the wiki for the list of er um "incidents."

It isn't entirely clear where CSC stops and Dyncorp begins.
