Shift cover in three steps

Built around how industrial sites operate, not how recruitment agencies bill.

1

Post the shift

Date, discipline, site and a guide rate. Your shift goes live to verified engineers in your radius, and nobody else. Employers only ever see their own shifts.

Estimated time: 90 seconds

2

Verified engineers apply at their rate

Every engineer has passed 7 stage verification including right to work, proof of qualification and a competency assessment.

3

GPS timesheet, one invoice

The engineer clocks in on site by GPS. You approve the timesheet, pay one invoice to Shiftt, and the engineer is paid 100% of their rate through the platform. No show, no timesheet, no charge.

10 founding employer places
for the beta.

Shiftt is a startup built from inside the industry, aimed at the gap agencies have left in engineering shift cover. The founding intake is limited: ten businesses get terms that will not be offered again, and grow with the platform from day one.

Flat 10% locked for 12 months

The beta rate, held for your first year regardless of what the standard fee becomes after launch.

Pay only for hours worked and approved

Payment triggers on your timesheet approval. If the engineer does not show, there is no timesheet and no charge. Not a promise bolted on, it is how the platform is built.

You choose the payment term

Pay Now or 30 day net, set per shift when you post — the engineer sees it before they apply.

Direct line to the founder

Owen is your contact from day one. Want a hand getting set up or loading your first shift? He will walk it through with you. No support queue, no account manager handoff.

First pick of the engineer bench

Founder · Maintenance engineer · 21/7 automated site

I lead a team of seven engineers on a round the clock automated production site in Birmingham. When someone calls in sick at 2am, I am the one ringing round. I have watched agencies charge 20 to 40% on top of an engineer's rate to send someone unvetted, late, or not at all.

Shiftt is the tool I wanted on those nights. Verified engineers, honest rates they set themselves, a flat 10%, and payment that only happens when the timesheet is approved. I built it myself, and I will personally look after the founding employers who come on board.

Every enquiry gets a personal reply from me within 24 hours

Real screens. Real shifts.

This is the actual platform: browse live shifts, apply at your rate, clock in on site with GPS and keep 100% of what you quoted.

Common questions

Shiftt is an on demand marketplace for engineering shift cover and short term project support. It connects companies with vetted, competency tested engineers for sickness and holiday cover, shutdowns, breakdowns, installations, testing and commissioning, and planned maintenance programmes. Engineers apply directly and set their own rate. No recruiters, and no waiting three days for cover.
Employers pay the engineer's rate plus a flat 10% platform fee, far below the 20% to 40% markups typical of recruitment agencies. Founding employers lock that flat 10% for their first 12 months. There is one invoice, full transparency: you always see the engineer's rate and the fee as separate lines, and the engineer receives 100% of their quoted rate through the platform. Free for engineers to sign up.
Each shift is posted with a payment term the employer sets — paid on completion, or 30 day net — shown to the engineer before they apply. After the shift, the employer approves the GPS verified timesheet and pays Shiftt, and Shiftt releases the engineer's payment in full. Engineers never chase invoices, employers never juggle contractor payments. If the engineer does not show, there is no timesheet and no charge.
Every engineer completes 7 stage verification before they can work: identity and right to work, qualifications, insurance, a competency assessment for their discipline, contractor terms, and payout details. Profiles show verified credentials, ratings from completed shifts, and per shift IR35 status. Employers are verified against Companies House.
Ten places for the beta intake, limited to the first ten businesses. Founding terms: flat 10% locked for 12 months, a direct line to Owen and help getting set up whenever you want it, priority visibility of the verified engineer bench, and the standard guarantee that you only pay for hours worked and approved. No contract lock in, no minimum volume.
Yes. Employers post a guide rate, engineers apply at their own number, and the employer chooses from the applicants. The rate you agree is the rate paid, the platform fee is charged to the employer on top, never deducted from the engineer. It also means the engineer who turns up chose the job at that rate, which shows in the work.
Shiftt is live in beta now. Operating in the West Midlands, specifically within a 25 mile radius of Birmingham. Density beats geography: focusing on one region means posted shifts actually get filled fast. Additional regions follow once the launch zone is proven. Founding employer onboarding runs through October 2026.
