I believe that it is first depends on the company and leadership culture.
If they look at you as an "outside" help, they will less trust you with important roles and responsibilities.
I have two suggestions:
1. From my experience even a week on site can make a huge difference. Is it a possibility for you to reach to the office?
2. Try to understand more about the bigger picture /context and do the extra step of bringing areas you feel strong vs other team members. It will show the leadership that you are able to lead.
