OEM Engineering

At 3P Tech Serv, we deliver specialist engineering services for equipment manufacturers — acting as a trusted design engineering partner for OEMs who need reliable, technically capable engineering support without the overhead of expanding their in-house team.

From mechanical engineering subcontracting services and contract engineering services for mechanical applications to back office engineering support and offshore engineering support services, our experienced team integrates seamlessly into your existing engineering workflow — delivering accurate, well-documented engineering output that meets your quality standards, your timelines, and your clients’ expectations.
Engineering Services for Equipment Manufacturers

Our engineering services for equipment manufacturers cover the full mechanical engineering scope needed to support OEM design and production — including equipment design calculations, 3D CAD modeling, 2D fabrication drawings, stress analysis, and design documentation. We work across a broad range of equipment types including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, skid packages, storage tanks, and specialist mechanical assemblies — providing the engineering depth and bandwidth that manufacturers need to win and deliver contracts efficiently. Whether you need support on a single project or ongoing engineering capacity across your product range, our team is structured to deliver consistently and reliably.

Design Engineering Partner for OEM

As a dedicated design engineering partner for OEMs, we go beyond simply producing drawings and calculations — we become a genuine extension of your engineering team. We take the time to understand your product range, your design standards, and your clients' requirements, so that the engineering we deliver fits seamlessly into your workflow and reflects the quality your customers expect. Our partnership approach means you get consistent engineering output from a team that understands your business — reducing the time you spend on briefing, reviewing, and reworking outsourced engineering deliverables.

Mechanical Engineering Subcontracting Services

Our mechanical engineering subcontracting services provide OEMs and manufacturers with a flexible, scalable engineering resource that can be deployed quickly and scaled to match your project pipeline. We handle the full mechanical engineering scope — from concept and preliminary design through to detailed calculations, fabrication drawings, and design documentation — working to your standards and under your quality management framework. Our subcontracting model gives you the engineering capacity you need when you need it, without the fixed costs and management overhead associated with permanent in-house headcount.

Back Office Engineering Support

Our back office engineering support services provide OEMs and manufacturers with dedicated, behind-the-scenes engineering capacity that supports your front-end sales and project delivery teams. We handle the technical engineering workload that sits behind your client-facing activities — including design calculations, drawing production, material take-off, design reviews, and technical documentation — freeing your senior engineers to focus on client relationships, project management, and business development. Our back office engineering support is structured to be invisible to your clients while being indispensable to your operations.

Contract Engineering Services for Mechanical Applications

Our contract engineering services for mechanical applications provide a structured, deliverable-based engagement model for OEMs and manufacturers who need engineering output on defined terms — with clear scope, timeline, and quality expectations agreed upfront. We work to your project schedule and deliverable register, providing regular progress updates and early flagging of any technical issues or scope clarifications needed. Our contract engineering model gives you full visibility and control over the engineering process while benefiting from the technical depth and bandwidth of an experienced specialist engineering team.

Offshore Engineering Support Services

Our offshore engineering support services provide specialist mechanical engineering capability for OEMs and contractors working on offshore oil and gas, floating production, and subsea projects. We are experienced in the specific engineering requirements of offshore equipment design — including weight and centre of gravity constraints, marine environmental loading, offshore material and coating specifications, and the stringent documentation and verification requirements of offshore certification bodies. Whether you need support with equipment design calculations, structural analysis, or fabrication drawing production for offshore projects, our team provides the technical depth and offshore awareness needed to deliver to the required standard.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

As a design engineering partner for OEMs, we function as a genuine extension of your engineering team — not just a supplier producing drawings to a brief. We take the time to understand your product range, design standards, and client expectations so that the engineering we deliver integrates seamlessly into your workflow. Our partnership model means consistent output, minimal briefing overhead, and a team that improves its understanding of your business with every project we complete together.

Our back office engineering support is specifically structured to support your internal operations in a way that is invisible to your end clients — handling the technical workload behind your client-facing engineering and project delivery activities. Standard mechanical engineering subcontracting services, by contrast, are typically project-specific engagements with a defined deliverable scope. Both models are available through 3P Tech Serv, and many of our OEM clients use a combination of both depending on their workload and project mix at any given time.

Our engineering services for equipment manufacturers span mechanical equipment design, pressure vessel and heat exchanger calculations, 3D CAD modeling, 2D fabrication drawing production, stress analysis, structural FEA, skid and modular engineering, and design documentation. We cover the full mechanical engineering scope that a typical OEM or equipment manufacturer requires — providing a single, technically capable engineering partner rather than requiring you to manage multiple specialist subcontractors across different disciplines.
Our contract engineering services for mechanical applications are delivered under a structured quality management approach — with clearly defined deliverable registers, review milestones, and checking procedures built into every engagement. We work to your quality standards and document control requirements, and all engineering deliverables are subject to internal technical review before issue. Our goal is to provide engineering output that requires minimal rework on your side — saving you review time and keeping your project schedule on track.

Offshore projects have specific engineering requirements that go beyond standard mechanical design — including strict weight budgets, marine environmental loading considerations, offshore material and coating specifications, and rigorous documentation requirements for certification by offshore classification societies and verification bodies. Our offshore engineering support services are delivered by engineers with direct offshore project experience, ensuring that the engineering we provide is appropriate for the offshore environment and aligned with the expectations of offshore clients and certifying authorities — not simply adapted from onshore design practices.

Yes — scalability is one of the core advantages of our mechanical engineering subcontracting services model. Rather than committing to permanent headcount that creates fixed costs during quieter periods, our OEM clients use our engineering capacity as a flexible resource that scales up during busy project phases and scales back when the pipeline is lighter. This gives you the engineering bandwidth to take on more work and meet tighter deadlines without the recruitment, onboarding, and management overhead associated with growing a permanent in-house engineering team.
