Specialists, on demand.
Architects and senior engineers you can borrow for a sprint or hand the whole thing to. Useful when your team's flat-out, when the work is one-off, or when you want a second pair of eyes on the design before you commit.
- Senior engineers only
- Day-rate or block
- No managed contract required
- UK-based
Sometimes you don't need a managed service. You need a named engineer for three days to land something specific — and then you need them gone again. Or you need the architect who's done it ten times to design the thing properly so your team can build it with confidence.
Specialists when you need them. Out of your hair when you don't.
Engineering bench, without the headcount.
The same architects and senior engineers who build and run our managed estates — available by the day, by the block or by the project. Flexible commercial shape, the same engineering quality.
How you can buy us
Day-rate
Senior engineers by the day for short engagements — design reviews, second opinions, troubleshooting nobody else has cracked.
Block-bought hours
Pre-paid blocks of engineering time, drawn down across a quarter. Useful when the demand is real but the shape is unpredictable.
Fixed-scope project
Defined outcome, defined timeline, defined price. The work has a clear edge — we land it.
Embedded retainer
A named engineer or architect embedded into your team for a recurring share of their time. Continuity without a head.
What you can buy us for
Architecture & design
Networks, identity, cloud, security — designed by people who'll have to live with the design. Documented properly, defensible to a board.
Build & migration
M365 tenant builds, network cutovers, cloud migrations, infrastructure refresh. Specialist hands when your team isn't sized for the spike.
Specialist troubleshooting
The thing nobody else has cracked — Wi-Fi that drops in one corner of the building, a Teams call quality issue everyone's blaming on the ISP, a tenant that won't replicate.
Second-opinion review
An independent read on someone else's design, BoM or migration plan before you commit to it. Often the cheapest insurance you'll buy this year.
What flexible specialist hands actually buy you.
Capacity when it spikes
Your team doesn't get sized for the once-a-year refresh. Ours is. Senior bench available without the cost of carrying it the rest of the year.
Specialism when it's narrow
Cyber, networks, cloud, M365 — the depth your generalist team won't have, hired for the days you need it and gone afterwards.
Second opinions that bite
An independent read on the call you're about to make. Cheaper than the call going wrong eighteen months later.
- Senior engineers only

Pick the commercial shape that fits.
No managed contract required. No long-term commitment to something you don't need yet. Just engineering hands on the work that matters this quarter.
Scoping call
Free 30 minutes. Tell us what you need a hand with, we'll tell you whether it's a half-day or a six-month embed.
Day-rate booking
Named engineer, named days, defined deliverable. Useful when you know exactly what you need and just need the hands.
Block-bought hours
Pre-paid quarterly engineering blocks. Predictable budget, flexible deployment, named bench available.
Fixed-scope or retainer
For bigger projects or ongoing embedded support. Quoted on the actual work, not a sticker price.
M-Tech are lucky to have such diligent and knowledgeable members of staff. They were great to work with, extremely agile and prepared to go the extra mile with our needs. We have nothing but praise for them.
Questions we hear every week.
Do I have to take a managed-services contract to work with you?
Are these actually senior engineers, or junior ones with a senior tag?
What's the smallest engagement you'll take?
Can we use you to design a thing and then build it ourselves?
What if the project turns into something bigger?
Where does this sit alongside Onboarding & Projects?
