How we work with you
A working day with your Mexico team
Nothing about this is improvised. Mexico is 11 h 30 m behind our engineering desk (UTC+05:30), so we run a fixed daily rhythm around your working hours in Mexico.
Clock positions use standard time for Mexico; daylight saving shifts the band by one hour for part of the year.
1 h 30 m
Our extended shift covers 09:00–10:30, Mexico time
Next morning
Queued at hand-off and answered before your next morning
Weekly + daily log
A recorded model walkthrough you watch on your clock, plus a daily written log
09:00
1. Overnight drop is waiting
Models, drawings and calculation updates produced while Mexico was closed are already in the shared folder when your day starts.
09:00–10:30
2. Extended-desk window
A senior engineer holds an extended shift so Mexico can take calls and close RFIs live rather than by email.
17:30
3. You hand off
Mark up the drawings, raise RFIs and set the next priority before you log off. The queue is picked up at the start of our next shift.
Next 09:00
4. Revisions back
Comments closed, revision clouds in place and the next issue in your folder before the first Mexico meeting of the day.
Sector focus
Industries & project types in Mexico
Most Mexico enquiries come from these four sectors — and from the fabricators and EPCs serving them.
Heavy, abrasive-duty structures built far from anywhere — so the drawings have to be right first time.
- Conveyor galleries and trestles
- Transfer towers and chutes
- Silos, bins and hoppers
- Crusher and mill building steel
Upstream, midstream and downstream packages for operators, EPCs and the fabricators who build for them.
- Separator & metering skids
- Pipe racks and process structures
- B31.3 stress packages
- Wellhead and compressor modules
Generation and transmission assets where equipment loads drive both the structure and the foundations.
- Power-block and BOP structures
- Steam and condensate stress analysis
- Tank farms and terminal steel
- Switchyard and substation frames
Production and logistics facilities where tonnage economy and erection speed decide the bid.
- PEB and heavy industrial sheds
- Crane gantries and runway beams
- Mezzanines, platforms and stairs
- Equipment support structures
Commercial & compliance
Contracting, IP and invoicing for Mexico
Engineering is the easy part of an offshore engagement — the contract, the IP and the invoice are what stall it. Here is how we set those up for Mexico clients.
Fixed-price package
Quote in 24 h · 2–4 milestonesBest for: A defined scope — one building, one skid, one vessel
Lump sum against an agreed drawing and tonnage list. Milestone invoicing, and change orders only for scope you approve in writing.
Rate-based delivery
Weekly reporting · monthly invoiceBest for: Scope that is still moving
Per-drawing, per-tonne or per-hour rates fixed up front, with a weekly burn and progress report so the invoice never surprises you.
Dedicated engineers (ODC)
Monthly per seat · 1-month noticeBest for: A continuous workload across many projects
Named engineers reserved for you each month, working in your folder structure, templates and drawing standards under your team lead.
The paperwork, up front
Working with SES from Mexico
- Invoicing currency
- MXN or USD, fixed at contract stage
- Payment terms
- Milestone or monthly invoicing, net 30 days from invoice
- Contract vehicle
- NDA, then a master services agreement with a priced scope schedule per package
- IP & ownership
- Models, drawings, calculations and native files transfer to you on final payment
- Cross-border paperwork
- Tax-residency and invoice documentation supplied for Mexico finance and treaty relief
- Insurance
- Professional indemnity cover; certificate issued with the proposal on request
Local practice: Bilingual title blocks and drawing notes on request, with documentation structured for EPC and owner review gates.
Confidentiality, IP & data security
- Mutual NDA signed before drawings are exchanged — usually inside one working day.
- All models, drawings, calculations and native files become your property on final payment.
- Project data lives in access-controlled folders; only the named team on your job can open them.
- No sub-contracting of your scope to a third party without your written consent.
- Every deliverable is produced on genuine licensed software, so your submission chain stays clean.
- Transfers over your portal, SharePoint, or our encrypted link — whichever your IT policy allows.
