The problem

Specialist roles take too long to fill — and generalist recruiters can't vet them anyway.

Specialist network and voice engineering roles take 30–45 days to fill through traditional staffing. Submitted candidates can't be technically validated without a Solution Architect on the other end of the process. Staffing agencies disappear after placement, with no accountability for how the engineer actually performs once they're on your team.

How Lumensoft delivers it

One monthly rate. We handle employment, you handle direction.

A Managed Network Engineer is a Solution Architect–vetted Cisco, Avaya, or Microsoft Teams specialist who integrates directly into your team and works within your tools, processes, and operational standards. Lumensoft manages workforce administration, performance oversight, and delivery continuity, while you retain full control of technical priorities and day-to-day work.

Engineers are available for remote, hybrid, or on-site engagements, giving you the flexibility to scale your team as business needs evolve. Our U.S.-based Solution Architects provide technical leadership and engagement oversight, supported by a global delivery organization that enables responsive, cost-effective service without compromising quality or consistency.

Common questions

Managed Network Engineer, answered directly.

What does "Lumensoft manages the engineer" mean in practice?

Lumensoft handles employment documentation, payroll, performance oversight, and workforce administration. If an engineer's performance falls below the engagement standard, Lumensoft addresses it directly. You communicate technical requirements and priorities; we ensure the engineer delivers against them.

What are the bill rates?

Bill rates depend on specialization and seniority — Cisco CCNA/CCNP, Avaya CM/Aura, Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, and network automation profiles each carry different rate structures. Book a discovery call for scope and pricing.

What is the minimum engagement length?

Typical managed engineer engagements run from three months upward. Minimums depend on scope and the specific profile required.

Can the Managed model convert to Dedicated later?

Yes. If both the client and the engineer choose to convert to a permanent direct-hire arrangement after a defined period, Lumensoft facilitates the transition.

Do managed engineers work onsite, hybrid, or remote?

All three options are available, defined in the Statement of Work based on your requirements and engineer availability.
