Flexible solutions to workload peaks start with Saltwater.
Short of engineering capacity?
We are ready to start any work with you
Shortage of in-house engineering capacity can be a real problem. An unforeseen contract to be carried out at short notice or an increase in demand combined with absence of in-house staff can cause serious deadline stress.
The first solution that comes to mind is a temporary employment agency. While temporary staff can provide some relieve in certain areas, naval engineering is unlikely to be part of them. On top of that, temp agencies charge personnel based on presence, while you need project progress, which is totally different.
Saltwater can help you out. Our engineers can jump in and help you get your work done. We are used to a diversity of assignments and usually provide custom work. Our engineers provide scalable engineering support. They blend into your organisation and provide real project progress. And once this is done, they will gradually scale down their presence from full-time to part-time to frequent or occasional progress briefings in accordance with your wishes.
Are you faced with sudden shortage of in-house engineering staff and need support? Contact our office and find out how we can help you.
