What is engineering augmentation?
Engineering augmentation (engineering staff augmentation) means adding skilled engineers to your team on a contract. They work under your technical direction while Placitech Workforce handles their employment, payroll and compliance.
What is the minimum and maximum engagement period?
Engagements start at a minimum of 6 months and can run for up to 2 years. You can extend month by month within that range.
What experience levels can I hire?
We deploy engineers from trained freshers up to senior specialists with 15 years' experience, in four tiers: Graduate Engineer, Engineer, Senior Engineer and Lead/Principal.
Do you provide fresher engineers?
Yes. We provide trained fresher engineers (Graduate Engineer tier, 0–1 year) in Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics at our most affordable monthly rate. They are trained on industry tools before deployment and supported by our technical leads.
How fast can engineers be deployed?
For most roles we share screened profiles within 72 hours. Engineers typically start 7–15 days after you approve them.
How is pricing calculated?
You pay a single monthly rate per engineer. The rate depends on experience tier, skills and duration. Longer engagements and larger teams get better rates. Request a quote and we'll send a clear rate card.

Who manages the engineer day to day?

Yes. Our Try & Hire model lets you convert an augmented engineer to a permanent employee on agreed terms.
