Engineering outsourcing: Canada
Engineering capacity for Canada's resource and heavy industries.
Mining, energy, rail, agriculture and forestry teams work in short seasons and long-lead equipment. We add design, analysis and plant engineering capacity around them.

Why work with us
Why Canadian teams add capacity from India.
Canadian industry is spread over a vast country, with short construction seasons and equipment that ships to remote sites. Flexible engineering capacity helps teams meet those windows.
Ready for the short season
Shutdown windows and construction seasons create sudden peaks. Add engineers for the window, then release them.
Metric and imperial, side by side
Many Canadian projects mix units across suppliers and clients. We keep them clean and consistent within each package.
Depth for heavy equipment
Structural, piping and mechanical detailing for plant, mobile and process equipment, with analysis where it is needed.
Coast to coast, one routine
A single review rhythm that works from Halifax to Vancouver, with the hand-over adjusted for each office.
Industries we support
Where Canadian engineering teams use us.
Our engineers support design offices and plant teams in sectors such as these. The scope is always agreed per project.
Mining and mineral processing
Equipment layouts, structural and piping detailing, and analysis of wear and load-bearing parts.
Oil, gas and energy
Piping layouts and isometrics, equipment drawings and electrical documentation.
Rail and heavy transport
Component design, detailing and analysis for rolling stock and track equipment.
Agriculture and forestry equipment
Frames, hydraulic layouts and assemblies for machines that work in demanding conditions.
Time zones
How the time difference works in practice.
India is between 8.5 and 13.5 hours ahead of Canada, depending on the province and daylight saving. That gap is a feature when the work is organised around hand-overs.
| Your location | Typical review call (summer time) | What your team sees |
|---|---|---|
| Atlantic Canada | About 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. AT | Morning review call, then the hand-over for the day ahead. |
| Eastern (Ontario and Quebec) | About 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. ET | Early-morning review call, then the hand-over for the day ahead. |
| Central and Mountain (Prairies and Alberta) | About 6:00 to 8:00 a.m. | Early-morning review call; work briefed at the end of your day is complete by the next morning. |
| Pacific (British Columbia) | About 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. PT | Early-morning review call; work briefed at the end of your day is complete by the next morning. |
Illustrative, assuming a 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. working day in India. Hours can be adjusted by agreement, and daylight saving changes the figures by one hour.
Before you start
What to settle before work starts.
- Confidentiality and IP. Put the non-disclosure agreement and intellectual property terms in place first. Every Profesyst employee signs a non-disclosure agreement.
- Controlled data. If your drawings or data are subject to export or controlled-goods restrictions, confirm with your compliance team what may be shared offshore before anything is sent.
- Standards and units. Tell us your drawing standard, such as CSA or ASME conventions, and whether you work in metric or imperial units, and we will work to them.
- Professional sign-off. Engineering stamps and sign-off remain with your licensed engineers. We support the design, analysis and documentation work that feeds them.
- Secure transfer. Agree how files are exchanged and who has access, so the process matches your IT policy.
- A pilot first. A small, well-defined work package is a low-risk way to judge quality and communication before a larger commitment.
Services that suit remote delivery.
How an engagement starts.
Share a brief
Send the scope, inputs and standards. We sign an NDA first if you ask.
Agree a pilot
We define a small work package with clear deliverables and review points.
Deliver and review
We deliver, you review, and we feed corrections into the next package.
Scale
Add engineers or work packages as confidence grows.
Frequently asked questions
Can you keep imperial and metric drawings separate?
Yes. We confirm the unit system, tolerancing practice and templates for each package at the start and apply them consistently, so a mixed project does not end up with mixed drawings.
Does Profesyst have an office in Canada?
No. Profesyst delivers from its engineering centres in Bengaluru and Pune, India. Onsite support at your facility can be discussed for projects that need it.
Can you work to Canadian standards and units?
Yes. We work to the drawing standards, units and templates you specify, and we confirm them with you before starting. Responsibility for compliance and professional sign-off stays with you.
How do we collaborate across the time difference?
Through a short, scheduled review call at the start of your day and a daily hand-over. You brief the work at the end of your day and it is progressed while your team is offline. Hours can be adjusted by agreement.
How is our intellectual property protected?
Your designs and data remain yours. Every Profesyst employee signs a non-disclosure agreement, and we agree intellectual property and confidentiality terms in writing before work starts. Our engineering centres run on controlled infrastructure with physical and data security, network security on every workstation, regular information security audits and remote backup of sensitive data.
How do we get started?
Send us a short brief, or a sample work package, through the contact form. We confirm scope, inputs, deliverables and review points with you, and a small pilot package is a common way to begin, before committing to a larger programme.
