Choose your path

Start with the commercial model that fits the need

Hire an individual specialist or define a deliverable-based project. We qualify the request before promising a match.

Hire a specialist

Add a named ADMS, SCADA, QA, GIS, controls, or integration professional to your team.

Start a hiring brief

Scope a bounded project

Define a non-production testing, integration, validation, documentation, or engineering work package.

Who we serve

Specialist capacity for grid delivery teams

We support organizations that already own the operational outcome and need credible people or a bounded work package.

Electric utilities

Control-room modernization, ADMS rollouts, and SCADA sustainment, staffed as talent and QA, not as your new EMS vendor.

System integrators

Surge ADMS, SCADA, and testing engineers who join your program. Delivery capacity, not slideware.

Energy software teams

OT-safe engineers for Ignition, APIs, historians, and GIS validation next to your product org.

How engagement works

A qualified brief before a commitment

The process makes fit, constraints, ownership, and the next decision visible at every stage.

  1. 1

    Brief

    We confirm the outcome, scope, stack, location, timeline, and commercial constraints.

  2. 2

    Qualify

    We test the request against available talent or a deliverable-based project boundary.

  3. 3

    Review

    You receive a reasoned shortlist or scope with assumptions, risks, and next decisions.

  4. 4

    Engage

    We align interviews or kickoff, contracting, access, acceptance criteria, and reporting.

Roles we staff

Specialized ADMS, SCADA, and QA talent

We match engineers. We do not sell a complete ADMS or SCADA product.

ADMS engineers

Network modeling, DMS, OMS, and control-center specialists, not generic software resumes.

SCADA engineers

Protocols, RTUs, HMI, and vendor stacks for utilities, pipelines, and grid operations.

ADMS/SCADA QA

The fastest commercial entry: regression, integration testing, and simulators off the live system.

Ignition developers

HMI, SQL, Python, OPC UA, and MQTT talent for dashboards utilities can actually run.

Technical services

QA, integration, and non-production delivery

The first commercial offer is testing and integration, not a live control-room rebuild.

Testing services

Regression and integration testing for ADMS/SCADA without touching the live control room.

API and middleware

OT-to-IT integrations, historians, and non-production environments with a U.S. domain lead.

HMI and dashboards

Operator views, alarm reporting, and analytics layered on existing platforms.

Engagement boundary

Clear scope protects operational work

We work alongside accountable client and delivery teams. Scope, access, production authority, and acceptance remain explicit.

Included

  • Specialist staffing and contractor matching
  • Non-production QA and test support
  • Integration, data validation, and documentation
  • Engineering work packages with explicit acceptance criteria

Excluded

  • Ownership or operation of a live control room
  • Representation as an OEM or software reseller
  • Unqualified guarantees of profile availability
  • Undefined production changes without client governance

Deliverables

Artifacts you can review

The output depends on the engagement model, but the basis for a recommendation or acceptance decision stays visible.

  • Screening record

    Role-relevant findings, experience checks, availability, and constraints for each recommended profile.

  • Shortlist rationale

    A concise explanation of why each profile fits the brief and where validation is still required.

  • Delivery scope

    For project work: assumptions, responsibilities, milestones, acceptance criteria, and exclusions.

  • Progress evidence

    Agreed status, test, validation, or documentation artifacts appropriate to the engagement.
