Shiftt puts your shift in front of vetted maintenance engineers who apply at their own rate. You pay the rate plus a flat 10%, and only for hours worked and approved. No agency, no markup, no chasing.
Post the gap, see verified engineers apply at their own rate, accept the one you want. No three day wait for a callback, no markup buried in an hourly rate, no invoice for a shift nobody turned up to.
Shifts are posted, browsed and applied for in real time. Cover sickness, holidays, breakdowns and shutdowns while the line is still down, not the following week.
Every engineer clears 7 stage verification and a competency assessment before they can apply for anything. Right to work, qualifications, insurance, tested. You know who is walking through the gate.
Payment triggers on your timesheet approval, nothing sooner. If the engineer does not show, there is no timesheet and no charge. That is not a promise bolted on, it is how the platform is built.
From a gap on the rota to an approved timesheet, without a phone call to an agency.
Date, discipline, site and a guide rate. Around 90 seconds. Your shift goes live to verified engineers in your radius and nobody else. Employers only ever see their own shifts, never a competitor's.
Every applicant has passed 7 stage verification, including right to work, proof of qualification and a competency assessment for their discipline. You see the profile, the credentials and the rate before you accept anyone.
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.
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.
Free for engineers to sign up. The 10% platform fee is paid by the employer on top of your rate, never out of it. Browse open shifts, apply at the number you want, and work the pattern that suits you.
No pot luck. No unverified turn ups. When you accept an engineer on Shiftt you know they are qualified, insured and tested, and their profile shows the evidence.

Before an engineer can apply for a single shift they pass a randomised 20 question assessment. It covers health and safety, general aptitude, and technical questions specific to their chosen discipline.
Engineers pick a primary discipline at registration and are tested against it, then add further specialisms to their profile as they go.
Owen Morgan · 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 30 to 50% 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.
