How we work

From concept to commissioning.

  • 01

    Concept & design

    Process review, functional design specification and control architecture planning before a single line of logic is written.

  • 02

    Programming & integration

    PLC, HMI and SCADA logic development, panel integration and communication architecture, built against the agreed design.

  • 03

    Testing & FAT

    Factory acceptance testing and structured validation before equipment ever reaches site, catching issues where they're cheapest to fix.

  • 04

    Commissioning & handover

    On-site commissioning, operator training and as-built documentation, so your team can run and maintain the system after we leave.

How to hire us

Two ways to start, same engineering either way.

Work directly if you'd rather deal with us straight, or contract through Upwork if you want the platform's escrow and milestone protection. Same engineer, same standard, either route.

Direct engagement

Send your brief, get a scoped proposal, invoice on agreed milestones. Best when the scope is clear or you already have a working relationship with us.

Start a project

Contract through Upwork

Hire and pay through Upwork's own contract system — fixed-price or hourly, with their payment protection and a verified profile history. Good if you want that layer between us.
