Engineering Design
On top of its booming
call center operations, the Philippines has also attracted foreign
investors looking to outsource higher-value jobs in engineering
design. The sector is currently led by shared services facilities
offering a range of services from civil engineering to architecture
and design. Complementing the shared services facilities are independent
firms offering specialized design and architectural services.
The Philippines' offshore engineering design
industry currently counts U.S.-based Bechtel, Fluor Daniel, Lear
and Parsons as among its satisfied clients, along with Japanese
companies JGC and Weserv, Hitachi, Denzo and Yazaki. Fluor Daniel
outsources almost the entire scope of its engineering operations
to the Philippines. In addition, more and more companies have been
utilizing Philippine facilities for core research and product development,
as well as planning and procurement, for important construction
projects. The roster continues to grow as the country effectively
keeps up with the global engineering design industry's skills and
technological requirements.
Foreign investors consider the Philippines' pool
of highly skilled and talented engineers as the country's biggest
edge. Every year, around 35,000 engineering graduates join the manpower,
all of whom are IT-enabled and English-proficient. Since the country's
educational system complement Western-style business practices,
its graduates easily adapt to, and deliver, foreign standards of
quality and excellence.
The Philippines' offshore engineering design
sector offers the following services:
- Civil engineering design
- Architectural drawings
- Engineering drafting
- Printed circuit design
- Wireless devices
- Display technology
