About this sector
Going global? We solve the people problems alongside you
For Chinese engineering and manufacturing companies, the biggest bottleneck overseas is rarely capital or technology it is "where do the people come from, and how do we deploy them compliantly". Unfamiliar local hiring channels, unfamiliar labour law, complex visas for Chinese secondees, cross-cultural site management any one of these going wrong hits your milestones directly.
KUTA operates from offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong, serving domestic clients and overseas project sites alike: the domestic network supplies critical roles across borders, while continuously operated host-country talent pools and channels in the Middle East and Southeast Asia support localisation, Contract secondment, vetting and mobilisation as one integrated offering.

Scenarios
Typical Demand Scenarios
Overseas programmes seldom need one isolated hire they need complete rosters built in phases. KUTA typically handles the scenarios below.
Core leadership at project kick-off
Within the tender and mobilisation window, we staff the core team project manager, construction/design directors and more most roles requiring bilingual capability.
Contract backfill at peak schedule
During accelerated schedules, installation and commissioning windows we batch-supply Contract specialists, scaling down on agreed terms when the work closes cost under control.
Local operations teams, localised
After start-up we build production, maintenance, EHS and support teams primarily with host-country staff balancing group standards with local labour rules.
Overseas employment compliance & mobilisation advice
Visa and work-permit type advice, host-country employment contract design, insurance and payroll administration compliant first, then on site.
