What is outsourced engineering?
Outsourced engineering involves assigning certain engineering functions and tasks to a team or team members who are based outside of your organisation. Due to the complexity and specialist nature of these roles, finding suitable candidates within Australia can be quite challenging and costly to an organisation. Outsourcing provides a practical solution for many organisations to have access to a low-cost and talented offshore market. Many engineering jobs are quite repetitive and task heavy, so by outsourcing these roles, businesses are able to focus their efforts on the important revenue streams onshore, while transactional tasks are being maintained offshore.
By hiring an offshore team or team member, you are able to allocate engineering functions such as:
- Research and development
- CAD and drafting
- Business information modelling
- Reverse engineering
- Product lifecycle management
- Document management
- Value management and benchmarking
- Consulting services.
Why do businesses outsource engineering services offshore?
Engineering requires strong attention to detail and it can become a costly recruitment process to source this talent. Oftentimes, businesses find it takes them quite a while to find suitable candidates for such a specialist industry. The time taken to source these roles would be better re-focused on revenue generation and relationship building. Offshoring engineering services provides a smart and easy resourcing solution that opens up a market of highly qualified and skilled engineers from around the world, for a fraction of the cost when considering salary and recruitment fees.
Businesses are able to save up to 70% on employment costs by outsourcing to low cost economies such as the Philippines. And whist costs decrease, quality does not. The Philippines is a world-renowned location for offshoring and produces exceptionally talented candidates across the engineering space.
The funds saved by outsourcing are then able to be reinvested back into the business to help promote sustainable growth.
