    Well you have 2 options here:

    1. Use a share DLL instead of using a service reference (basic concept is explained here)
    2. Create WCF service:
      • Create a assembly for your contract + service (ideally you might also want to separate the contract from the implementation)
      • Reference this assembly in your worker
      • Create a ‘dummy’ WCF application referencing your newly created assembly which only contains a *.svc file with the following code (you won’t deploy this service, it’s only goal is to allow using a service reference).
    <%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="MyWorker.Service.ContactService" %>

    • In your WebRole, add a service reference and VS will discover the service in the dummy WCF application.

      (you can do the same with svcutil.exe)
