Virtual Assistant for Operations

An engineering VA supports your projects with drawings and CAD work, calculations under engineer supervision, document control, bills of materials, procurement, contract administration and project reporting, following your standards and review processes.

Popular roles include Engineering Administrator, Document Controller, Procurement Specialist, Civil Engineer and Mechanical Engineer. We place 24 manufacturing and engineering roles in total, and each role page covers the responsibilities, requirements and hourly rates.

Technical skills are tested during vetting, and your hire works within your review process: they prepare drawings, calculations and documents, and your licensed engineers check and sign off. You stay in control of every approval.

Rates start from $7 USD an hour and rise with experience. Each role page lists entry, intermediate and senior hourly rates, and there are no setup or recruitment fees and no lock-in contract.

Every candidate goes through AI screening, a recruiter review, a role-specific interview, skills testing, identity and reference checks and an infrastructure check, so only the top 1 percent reach you. If your hire is not the right fit, we replace them at no cost.

Our operations managers identify where work is getting stuck, document better processes and make sure recurring tasks are completed consistently. They can coordinate your team, suppliers, projects and reporting, helping reduce missed follow-ups and duplicated work while giving the business owner better visibility without managing every detail personally.

Yes. We can place operations managers with growing businesses where the founder is still coordinating too much of the day-to-day work. Your operations VA can take ownership of processes, team coordination, reporting and recurring workflows, helping you build a more organised operation without immediately adding another local management hire.

Yes. Our operations managers can map how work is currently completed, document standard operating procedures and identify unnecessary manual steps or bottlenecks. They can then help implement clearer workflows, assign responsibilities and introduce automation where appropriate so important processes are easier for your team to follow and scale.

Our operations managers can work within common project management, communication and reporting platforms such as Asana, Monday.com, Notion, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Power BI. We match candidates to your existing systems wherever possible, so they can manage tasks, processes and reporting within the tools your team already uses.

Your operations VA works through the systems and permissions you provide. We recommend individual user accounts, multi-factor authentication and limiting access to the information required for their role. You stay in control of system access while Outsource Teams handles the employment and ongoing management of your remote hire.
