Miss­ing the key spe­cial­ists between plan­ning and com­mis­sion­ing? We find them.

Every project phase needs different profiles, from planning and automation to qualification. Our specialized engineering recruiters know which ones will be needed next and bring them to your projects across Switzerland.

Why engineering teams work with us

Locally rooted

With teams in Basel, Zurich and Bern, we are where your projects happen. Because we also recruit for IT and Life Sciences, we know the interfaces where engineering works today.

Flexible models

From a single contractor to an entire project team: together, we find the right engagement model, whether temporary staffing, freelance contracting or payrolling.

Legally compliant & ISO

Proper handling of temporary staffing and payrolling under Swiss law, including the issue of false self-employment. As an ISO 9001 certified company, we work with documented processes, just as you know them from regulated projects.

Google rating

5.0 stars from more than 200 reviews by clients and candidates who have worked with us.

The critical moments in engineering lie in the transitions.

When planning turns into execution, or execution into commissioning, the requirements for the team change. That is exactly where gaps appear that the project plan often does not account for.
Because we support many technical projects, we often see where things get stuck before they do.

Before we propose candidates, we clarify with you which phase your project is in and which mix of engineering, automation and digitalization it needs.

Market knowledge instead of guesswork
We give you an honest assessment of availability, realistic hourly rates and the legally sound contract type for your needs.

From plan­ning to com­mis­sion­ing: we sup­port your pro­ject in every phase

Plan­ning

Your reality: Before anything is built or programmed, requirements, schedules and interfaces need to be in place. Planning is increasingly digital, for example with BIM or digital twins.

How we support you: We find engineering planners, project managers and BIM specialists who set up your initiative properly.

Your advantage: Your project starts with a plan that everyone involved can rely on.

Engin­eer­ing & Automation

Your reality: In execution, process technology, controls and IT come together. A missing person here slows down not only their own task, but the entire project.

How we support you: We bring automation engineers, process engineers and system engineers to your projects, from embedded systems and PLCs to control systems.

Your advantage: Your execution stays on track, even when several disciplines are needed at the same time.

Com­mis­sion­ing & Qualification

Your reality: Just before start-up, the workload rises sharply: testing, qualification and documentation all need to happen at once. In regulated industries such as pharma, C&Q and CSV come on top.

How we support you: We find commissioning and qualification engineers, CSV specialists and OT integration leads who bring facilities into operation safely.

Your advantage: Your start date holds without your core team having to handle everything at once.

Digit­al­iz­a­tion across all phases

Your reality: Connected facilities, IIoT and digital twins are changing how things are planned, built and operated. This requires professionals who understand engineering and can work with digital tools.

How we support you: We place specialists in OT/IT integration, IIoT and facility data connectivity, as well as digital engineers who connect both worlds.

Your advantage: Your digitalization moves forward without engineering falling by the wayside.

It's all about our business manager in Bern! Her professional approach and her good networking do not simply provide us with skills and resources, but with personalities that suit our team. She does this fast, transparently and fairly. This is how I imagine long-term business relationships.
