Overview
Forensic firms sometimes need additional engineering capacity quickly. A case load grows, field assignments stack up, deadlines tighten, or a matter calls for support in a discipline area that needs experienced handling. In those situations, the subcontract engineer has to do more than complete tasks. They have to represent the assignment professionally and support the prime firm well.
Clements Engineering Inc. provides 1099 forensic engineering support for firms that need dependable technical assistance, overflow capacity, and low-friction collaboration. We understand that subcontract work reflects on the hiring firm. That means being responsive, communicating clearly, staying within scope, and producing work that is organized, thoughtful, and reliable.
We aim to be a strong behind-the-scenes resource or a direct assignment support resource, depending on how the engagement is structured. The goal is to help the prime firm serve its client well while reducing internal strain.
