You get a mobilization sequence, workforce requirements and a project-governance route.
01The situation
A won project creates an immediate operational problem: you have a schedule, a client and a scope in Mexico, and no local employment, payroll or recruiting capability. Forming an entity to solve it usually takes longer than the mobilization window allows.
For defined-term work you generally do not need one. Project personnel can be employed through an Employer of Record, or the scope can be delivered under a specialized-services or SOW structure where we supervise against deliverables. Which one is correct is determined by who directs the work, not by preference.
The second problem is local hiring. Supervisors, engineers, technicians, QA, safety and site administration recruited in the project city are almost always faster and cheaper than mobilizing the same roles from abroad, and they carry the local knowledge that keeps a site moving.
02What we do for you
One decision rarely stands alone in Mexico. These are the connected choices that usually surface within the first 60 days, and we own all of them.
EOR, staff augmentation, specialized services or SOW, matched to who supervises the work and what your client contract requires.
Supervisors, engineers, technicians, QA, safety and administration hired in the project city on the schedule's critical path.
Aligning your mobilized personnel's status and payroll arrangement with the work they perform in Mexico.
Mexican contracts, IMSS registration, payroll cycles, timekeeping and site documentation.
A local interface for clients, suppliers and authorities when you have no entity on the ground.
End-of-term employment handling, final settlements, equipment recovery and records handover, planned before mobilization starts.

We run every one of these models, so the recommendation is the one that fits your operation, and each one has a clear next evolution as you grow.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| You buy | Employed people | Additional hands | A deliverable | A delivered scope with leadership |
| Who supervises | You | You | Us | Us |
| Best when | No entity, defined term | Your crew needs capacity | Scope and acceptance are clear | You lack local site leadership |
| Does not fit | Scope you would rather outsource | Work you cannot supervise locally | Work your PMs direct daily | Very small scopes |
| Closeout | End-of-term handling | Ramp-down | Acceptance and demobilization | Handover and demobilization |

Tell Us Which Model Fits05Why us
Active registration for applicable specialized services, with engagements structured to the work actually performed.
Hiring in the project city, including secondary industrial locations, not just the main hubs.
Engineers, technicians, commissioning specialists, QA, safety and site administration.
A local commercial and administrative interface where you have no entity.
You contract once, in terms your legal and procurement teams already understand.
Demobilization planned at contract signature rather than improvised at the end.
Seven questions. You receive a mobilization plan covering people, timing, local recruiting, payroll, mobility, site coordination and closeout.
Then structure clarity comes first. Deciding who supervises the crew takes an hour and removes the biggest source of avoidable delay.
Most contractors who win one Mexico project win another. We can size the footprint for this one without closing the door on the next.
We can complement them by carrying employment, payroll and the roles they cannot source.
The model is selected according to the work, the control and the applicable requirements, not relabeled to fit a product.
Answers
The questions buyers ask us before they commit. If yours is not here, send it and a Mexico specialist answers it directly.
Ask a Mexico SpecialistOften not. Project teams can be employed through an Employer of Record or delivered under a specialized-services or SOW structure, which avoids forming an entity for work with a defined end date. If the project becomes a permanent Mexico presence, the entity question returns on better terms.
Expatriate personnel need the correct immigration status for the work performed, and their employment and payroll arrangement has to match. We coordinate the local side and work with your immigration counsel on the rest.
Yes. Local recruiting is usually the fastest lever on a project, supervisors, engineers, technicians, QA, safety and administrative support hired in the project city rather than flown in.
REPSE registration applies to specialized services provided to a client. Whether it applies depends on the nature of the work and who directs it. It is a registration, not a certification, and it does not cover every engagement type. We review the structure against the scope before contracting.
If your supervisors direct the work daily, augmentation or EOR fits. If you are buying a defined deliverable with acceptance criteria and we supervise, a SOW under a specialized-services structure fits better.
Closeout is planned at the start: end-of-term employment handling, final settlements, equipment recovery, records handover and, where useful, retention of a small local footprint for warranty or service work.
Send the roles, the headcount, the scope or just the question you cannot get a straight answer to. You get the route that actually fits, what it costs fully loaded and what happens first, in writing, from the team that would run it.
