Desktop Support (Remote and Onsite)
Dedicated Onsite Engineers.
Long-term, full-time engineers embedded at your sites who build deep environmental knowledge and serve as your local IT presence.
Overview
What is Dedicated Onsite Engineers?
Dedicated onsite engineers are full-time Deploris staff embedded at your site for long-term assignments. Unlike shared or rotational models, dedicated engineers build deep knowledge of your environment, systems, and culture. They handle BAU support, small projects, and act as the local IT point of contact for facilities and business stakeholders.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Dedicated Onsite Engineers matters.
A rotating pool of engineers brings fresh hands but starts each visit with questions. Where is the spare stock? Which printers have a history? Who in finance needs a different build? A dedicated engineer answers those questions from experience. Over months they learn the quirks of the building, the habits of departments and the reasons behind unusual configurations that were not written down. For sites with steady daily demand, that familiarity reduces repeat explanations and shortens the time between a report and a fix, and it gives managers a person they can actually plan around.
The arrangement works when the role is defined clearly and the engineer is treated as part of the site. Duties, hours, reporting line and decision limits are written down, and the engineer takes part in your change and incident routines. Deploris selects and vets candidates, handles employment matters and arranges cover for absences, while your IT lead directs daily priorities. Because one person can become a single point of knowledge, we ask for handover notes and shared documentation so continuity does not depend on memory alone.

CHOOSING
Choosing this service.
What to decide before you order, and what sits outside the scope.
Dedicated versus scheduled visits
Look at whether work fills the engineer's time on a typical day. If demand is steady and staff expect quick help, dedicated presence pays off in responsiveness. If demand is uneven, scheduled visits or a shared model may use budget more sensibly. Ticket data usually settles the question.
Define the role before sourcing
Decide whether the engineer is mainly a desktop technician, a broader site IT generalist or a specialist for a platform such as creative workstations. A clear profile helps us match skills and avoids disappointment when expectations differ from what the engineer was briefed on.
Who directs daily work
Name the person who sets priorities, approves purchases and handles performance feedback. Without a clear lead, an embedded engineer receives conflicting requests from several departments. A short written list of duties and decision limits keeps the role focused and protects the engineer's time.
Plan for absence and handover
Ask how cover will work for leave, sickness and changeover, and what documentation the engineer will maintain. Providing a workspace, tool access, storage and a desk phone early helps the engineer settle in. The better the handover notes, the easier any future transition becomes.
Not included
- The engineer remains a Deploris resource, so your organization does not take on employment, payroll or benefits responsibilities for them.
- Out-of-hours on-call duty and weekend cover are separate arrangements that must be agreed and priced before they begin.
- Large infrastructure projects, major migrations and specialist design work need additional resources beyond a single embedded engineer.
- Administrator rights and sensitive system access are granted only as your IT lead approves, and remain under your control.
USE CASES
Typical scenarios.
A pharmaceutical company embedding two engineers at its R&D campus to support 800 scientists and lab systems.
A regional bank placing one engineer at each of four branches to handle desktop support and ATM first-line troubleshooting.
A media production house needing a dedicated Mac-specialist engineer to support its creative team of 200.
PROCESS
How the work runs.
- 1
Role definition and matching
We write a role profile with your IT lead covering duties, skills, hours and site rules, then present suitable vetted candidates. You may interview them before an engineer is placed.
- 2
Introduction and shadowing
The engineer spends early days meeting staff, learning the site and shadowing your team or outgoing support. Access, tools and documentation are confirmed so work can begin without gaps.
- 3
Settling into the routine
Regular check-ins with your lead and a Deploris coordinator catch mismatches early, such as unclear priorities or missing access. Adjustments to duties are recorded so expectations remain consistent.
- 4
Ongoing review and cover
Periodic reviews look at workload, ticket trends and improvement work. Cover plans are tested for planned absences, and handover notes are kept current so the arrangement stays dependable over the long term.
