You cannot employ without an entity
No South African company means no local contract, no payroll and no tax registration. Contractors carry the risk; a wrong classification can cost more than the hire.
Recruitment · Verification · Employer of Record
We recruit the engineer, verify what they claim, and employ them locally — so you can build a remote engineering team without opening a company in South Africa.
The part that stops most companies
Most companies that want South African engineering capacity stop at the paperwork. Each of these is solvable — but only if someone takes it on properly.
No South African company means no local contract, no payroll and no tax registration. Contractors carry the risk; a wrong classification can cost more than the hire.
A CV from another country is a claim. Degrees, professional registration and the work itself have to be checked against the institutions that issued them.
Two jurisdictions, two sets of deductions, monthly. Doing it ad hoc is how good hires turn into compliance problems twelve months later.
What we do
One partner for the whole hire — from the first search to the monthly invoice.
Industrial, design, mechanical, civil and CAD engineers sourced across Southern Africa and matched to your brief — not a CV database.
Qualification, professional registration, a technical interview and references taken on the work claimed. You meet engineers who have already been checked.
We employ your engineer in South Africa: contract, payroll, statutory deductions, tax and the employment-law obligations.
One fee per engineer, one invoice, one point of contact. Your finance team deals with a single line item.
How it works
You stay in charge of the work. We carry the employment.
Verification
Every engineer arrives with the same file, completed before your first conversation. If a claim cannot be verified, it is not in the file — and the engineer does not go forward.
Ask for the verification file on any candidate we send you.
Engineers we place
Each engineer is sourced for the discipline you actually need — and verified in it.
Process, production and operations engineers: line balancing, throughput, quality systems, lean improvement and plant optimisation.

Product and machine design, drawings and specifications, tolerance and fit, materials selection and design for manufacture.

Infrastructure, structures, water and site engineering — from design support and documentation to site coordination.

Detail draughting and modelling support in the software your team already uses, to your drawing standards and title blocks.

Employer of Record
The line between your responsibility and ours is written down, so nobody argues about it later.
