Automation expertise for your project, exactly when you need it
The automation scope in a project spans many systems that have to work together, whether you are building new, expanding, or modifying.
Someone has to assess the OT side of the URS, challenge the requirements that will not hold, and coordinate the system vendors so interfaces and scope stay aligned. If that work is thin, the problems surface at FAT or on site, where they are expensive to fix.
The same early decisions determine how long the equipment stays serviceable. Which components can still be serviced in five years? Do they receive updates, or will they become obsolete in the near future?
Answering that takes automation engineers with both the platform knowledge and the experience to ask — and some project teams might not have the resources at the given time. Through standard recruitment it can take weeks to find the right profile, and a generalist agency might not have the technical competencies to identify the right engineer.
We clarify what the project actually calls for and send you candidates at no cost, so the first step costs you a conversation.
No cure, no pay
We search and screen automation engineers at no cost
Need help with recruitment? Clarifying the competence requirement is part of the search: Back-end, front-end or fullstack and whether the role is full-time or a few days a week. We do not bill that separately.

We provide automation engineers for:
URS review and OT assessment
Evaluating and challenging the operational technology requirements before they are locked.
Vendor coordination
Keeping system suppliers, interfaces, and scope aligned through the project.
Specification and future-proofing
Component and platform choices that can be serviced and updated instead of turning obsolete.
PLC and HMI development
Software developed to your standards and ready for test.
MES and SCADA
Platform rollout, integration with the control systems, and data historian setup
FAT
Planning, executing, and documenting factory acceptance tests
Documentation
Functional descriptions and test records that survive the handover
Automation engineers who manage more than the PLC
Our automation engineers work across the established platforms — Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell Studio 5000, Beckhoff TwinCAT, ABB, Schneider Electric, Omron, and Mitsubishi — and the industrial communication that ties them together, from Profinet and EtherCAT to Ethernet/IP and OPC UA. Where the task calls for it, that extends to machine vision systems such as Cognex and Keyence.
The competencies reach into the layers above the PLC. That can be rolling out a new MES platform, integrating production data with SCADA, or keeping production running through a critical project phase. The work covers system configuration and rollout, integration with PLC and control systems, data historian setup, dashboards and reporting, validation, and live troubleshooting.
Our engineers are used to stepping into existing project teams and adapting to your culture and ways of working, and they involve the stakeholders — vendors, IT, production, the project owner — at the right moments rather than waiting to be asked. That they arrive without prior ties to a vendor or a platform counts for most when a URS requirement should be challenged, or when two system suppliers each insist the interface problem belongs to the other.

We handle the details, you get the results
When your project needs an automation engineer, we can present qualified candidates within 24–72 hours. The engagement is structured around your actual need — full-time or part-time, for a defined period or extended as the project develops — and scaled up or down as the work moves.
PS Engineering handles contracts, insurance, and compliance — and, for international assignments, work permits and taxation — so the administrative burden stays off your desk. Whether your automation engineer works on-site or remotely alongside your team, the setup is straightforward. You get the right person, focused on your project, from day one
