A CARE engineer at your office, on the schedule you need
Not every business needs full-time IT staff, but plenty need a skilled engineer on-site regularly. That is exactly what our IT placement service provides. We send a CARE engineer to your premises on a schedule that suits you, whether that is every Monday and Friday, three mornings a week, once a fortnight, or once a month. You get a familiar, qualified person who knows your setup, without the cost and commitment of hiring one yourself.
We have supported Singapore businesses since 2007 and manage over 3,000 endpoints, so the engineer who turns up is backed by a full team and the same standards as the rest of our managed IT service. This works well on its own, or alongside our remote IT support for the days your engineer is not on-site.
Flexible scheduling around how you work
The whole point is that it bends to your needs rather than the other way around. Common arrangements include:
- A set day or days each week, for example every Monday and Friday.
- Specific hours rather than full days, such as Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
- A regular visit every fortnight or once a month for lighter needs.
- A pattern that scales up or down as your business changes.
Tell us how often you need someone on the ground and we will build the schedule around it.
Why a placed engineer beats hiring your own
- No recruitment headache. No job ads, no sifting CVs, no interviews. We provide the right person.
- Cover is built in. Because the engineer is part of CARE, when they are on leave we send a replacement. You are never left without support because one person is away.
- A whole team behind them. Your engineer can call on our wider expertise in security, servers, Microsoft 365 and networks when a job needs it.
- Predictable cost. You pay for the time you need, with none of the overheads of an employee: no benefits, no training budget, no bench time.
- Continuity. It is a regular face who learns your environment, not a different stranger each visit.
Recruitment and payroll, when that is what you need
Some clients, often those based overseas who are building a presence in the region, would rather we recruit IT staff on their behalf and manage the payroll too. We can do that. We find suitable candidates, handle the hiring, and take care of the ongoing payroll and admin, so you get the people you need on the ground without setting up all the machinery yourself. If this is closer to what you are after, talk to us and we will walk you through how it works.
Frequently asked questions
How often can we have an engineer on-site?
Whatever suits you: set days each week, specific hours, fortnightly or monthly. We build the schedule around your needs and adjust it as they change.
What happens when our engineer is on leave?
We send a replacement. Because the engineer is part of CARE rather than someone you employ, you are never left without cover when one person is away.
Is this the same as hiring a contractor?
It is better. You get a regular, qualified engineer backed by our full team and standards, with cover for leave and no recruitment or employment overhead.
Can you recruit and manage payroll for staff in Singapore?
Yes. For clients who need it, often overseas businesses, we can recruit IT staff and manage their payroll on your behalf. Get in touch and we will explain the options.
Can we combine on-site days with remote support?
Yes, and many clients do. Your engineer covers the scheduled days on-site, and our helpdesk and remote support handle everything in between.
