Our Contract Engineering Services

Flexible engineering talent and technical support for automation projects, plant modernization, and demanding manufacturing production environments.

Automation Staffing

Place qualified controls engineers, PLC programmers, robot programmers, electrical designers, and project managers through contract, contract-to-hire, or direct-placement arrangements tailored to your workforce needs.

Engineering Consulting

Use feasibility studies, workflow evaluations, cycle-time analysis, conceptual designs, and ROI assessments to define practical automation opportunities before committing capital or internal resources.

Line Upgrade Support

Add embedded engineering resources for product launches, model-year changeovers, capacity expansions, robot retrofits, and production-cell optimization while helping minimize disruption to operations.

Flexible Technical Support

Engineering Talent When Projects Demand It

GLOBAL connects manufacturers with skilled engineering professionals who can contribute where the work needs them most, from controls and robotics programming to mechanical design, commissioning, and project leadership. Engineers can embed at any phase of an automation program: concept and design, build, factory acceptance testing, installation, and on-site run-off. Each assignment starts with a clear scope of discipline, equipment platforms, schedule, and deliverables, so an engineer works to in-house standards from day one, backed by GLOBAL's own systems integration experience. Contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-placement options align the engagement with a project's scope and a plant's staffing strategy.

Meet the GLOBAL Team

Automation-minded engineers ready to strengthen your manufacturing operation.

Founded in 2009, GLOBAL Automation Technologies was built to solve manufacturing problems through automation. The company saw that manufacturers needed both a capable robotic system and qualified engineers to support it, yet usually had to source them separately, so it brought automation solutions, services and technical staffing together as one source. Over 17+ years, GLOBAL has grown to 110+ team members with project experience in 22 countries, supporting automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and heavy industry with practical expertise in robotics, controls, design, commissioning, and production support. Its engineers use AI-assisted simulation to work faster and anticipate equipment issues. Because GLOBAL's recruiters also hire the company's own engineering talent, they screen candidates for real automation capability.
