HIGH LEVEL ENGINEERS · BY NOVACORE MEDIA LLC
The right capacity starts with the right hiring decision.
WHY HIGH LEVEL ENGINEERS
An engineer backed by a working relationship.
If you need implementation capacity but do not want to build the recruiting, technical review, and staffing-continuity process from scratch, our programs bring those elements together.
Capacity and pricing you can compare
Choose 20 hours for $45,000 annually or $950 weekly; 30 hours for $60,000 annually or $1,200 weekly; or 40 hours for $80,000 annually or $1,600 weekly. Annual and weekly options have different totals and agreed terms.
Senior oversight on the top two tiers
Advanced and Dedicated add expert senior oversight to the engineering engagement, with review and escalation responsibilities defined before work starts.
Emergency continuity on the top two tiers
Advanced and Dedicated include a guaranteed 5–7-business-day turnaround for covered resignation or client-termination emergencies. Your agreement defines start conditions and the continuity milestone.
These advantages are strongest when you need hands-on execution with outside technical support. They do not remove the need for internal priorities, approvals, or project ownership. Hiring a permanent internal leader may be the better fit for a long-term organizational role.
A PRACTICAL COMPARISON
Should you hire in-house or engage an engineer?
Both can be the right choice. Start with workload, management capacity, and how closely the role needs to sit inside your organization.
| Consideration | High Level Engineers | In-house employment |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 20, 30, or 40 hours per week; custom teams available. | Defined by the employment arrangement and role. |
| Selection | Engineers personally vetted through prior NovaCore agency work. | Your recruiting, interview, and reference process. |
| Technical oversight | Expert senior oversight included with Advanced and Dedicated. | Provided by your internal leadership or separately arranged. |
| Continuity | Advanced and Dedicated have contracted emergency continuity coverage. | Depends on succession planning and your replacement process. |
| Cost comparison | Program price plus any agreed additional costs. | Salary plus your actual benefits, recruitment, tooling, and management costs. |
| Institutional knowledge | Built through the engagement and supported by documentation. | Can deepen through a long-term internal role. |
WHEN EACH MODEL FITS
Choose around the work.
Consider fractional or embedded capacity
You have a defined backlog, need implementation support alongside your team, or want capacity while an internal hiring process develops.
Consider an in-house role
You need a permanent organizational role with substantial internal leadership, deep company-specific responsibilities, and enough sustained work to support it.
A 40-hour service engagement provides full weekly capacity, but it is not the same as employing the engineer. Ownership, access, handover, and any future hiring arrangement should be specified in the contract.
