Remote Staffing for Engineering Firms — Fully Managed by F5
CAD drafters, calculation support, and project coordinators from India — starting at $375/week.
IN SUMMARY
F5 Hiring Solutions places full-time remote engineering support professionals from India for U.S. civil, structural, MEP, and environmental engineering firms in 7–14 days, starting at $375/week. CAD drafters, technicians, and project coordinators — fully managed.
The Engineering Firms Staffing Problem
PE time on production work — licensed engineers doing drafting instead of engineering
CAD and drafting backlog — production volume exceeds in-house capacity
Project coordination overhead — coordination tasks pull engineers from technical work
Cost of U.S. CAD technicians — drafters in major markets cost $55,000–$75,000/year
Permitting documentation volume — permit packages and municipal submissions require significant time
F5 solves all of them.
