BioFuel Revamp

A bio-refinery scale-up faced delays. Hire Plant 3D Designer talent was required fast. We embedded two senior piping designers into their EPC team within 72 h, aligning workshares through cloud-based Plant 3D vaults. The augmented duo delivered isometric packages ahead of schedule, cutting clash-detection cycles by 38 % and saving $420 K in re-work.

LNG Terminal Fast-Track

An LNG operator needed surge capacity for FEED. We supplied four Plant Design engineers in 4 days. Working under client standards, they modelled cryogenic lines, producing GA drawings. Result: 21 % schedule compression and regulatory submission hit one month early, enabling FID approval.

Pharma Greenfield

A pharmaceutical OEM lacked in-house CAD bandwidth for a new sterile filling plant. Through our augmented squad—one lead and three junior designers—90 % of piping routes were finalised in five weeks. Clash reports dropped by 46 %; CAPEX stayed 8 % under budget.

FAQ

What is the real cost to hire Plant Design developers through smartbrain.io?

When you Hire Plant 3D Designer talent via smartbrain.io you pay a transparent hourly rate that already includes payroll, compliance, and platform support. There are no placement fees, sign-up charges, or hidden mark-ups. Rates start at $55/h for mid-level Plant Design developers and average $78/h for senior specialists. Compared to in-house hiring—where salary, benefits, overhead, and recruiting fees quickly exceed $140/h—outstaffing can free up 30–45 % of budget while giving you the flexibility to scale headcount up or down as project phases change.

How do you secure our IP when working with remote Plant Design talent?

Every engineer signs a strict Mutual NDA and Invention Assignment Agreement before accessing any files. VPN access, role-based permissions in your Plant 3D vault, and ISO-27001-compliant data centres ensure drawings and project data remain under your control. You retain 100 % IP ownership; smartbrain.io simply supplies the talent.

Can your designers work in our time zone?

Yes. Our network spans North America, LATAM, and EMEA, allowing us to align at least 4 overlapping hours with your core team. Need 20-hour coverage? Combine two designers in staggered zones for near-round-the-clock progress.
