What work can your offshore team handle?

Start with recurring responsibilities and the decisions your team needs to review. These examples help you define the brief.

Procurement Administration

Maintain supplier records, organise purchase documentation and follow up approved orders. Your commercial team decides supplier selection and expenditure.

Document Control

Track document revisions, transmittals and outstanding information. Route technical changes through the responsible engineer or project lead.

Operational Reporting

Compile agreed production and project inputs into reports. Flag missing or inconsistent data and retain a clear record of the source and reviewer.

Built on Years of Technical Recruitment

Covela is a sister company spun out of Adaca in 2026. Our recruitment process draws on eleven years of refinement at Adaca, assessing people for highly technical roles.

We apply that discipline to your brief: define the work, assess relevant experience and communication, and combine AI assistance with human review. Your team meets candidates and makes the hiring decision.

Explore our recruitment process ↗

Clear Access. Clear Approvals.

Your site and technical teams retain safety decisions, operational control and engineering sign-off. An administrative or reporting role does not provide on-site supervision.

Your Systems and Review Points

Include your procurement platform, project document system and reporting tools. Distinguish business-system access from operational technology and identify site escalation contacts.

ISO 27001-Certified Operations

Covela’s staffing service is covered by ISO 27001 certification. Agree the information each role needs, the access you authorise and the review and escalation requirements before onboarding.

Discuss your information requirements ↗

Your Business Leads

You set priorities, manage daily work and approve access and outputs.

Covela Supports

We handle recruitment, employment, payroll and HR. Leave, overtime requests and performance reviews come through our platform for your approval.

How recruitment and onboarding work ↗

Questions About Your Mining Team

Scope the role before recruitment, so everyone knows what the person will own and when to ask for guidance.

Can the team support several sites?

Define each site’s reporting format, cut-off times and escalation owner. A central coordinator can consolidate information where access and workloads permit.

Does IT support include operational technology access?

Do not assume it does. Separate office-system support from operational technology and define access, competence and approval requirements for any proposed technical scope.

Who manages the person’s daily work?

Your business sets priorities, gives instructions and reviews the work. Covela recruits and employs your people, handles payroll and HR, and coordinates ongoing people support.

How long does recruitment take?

We assess your brief and provide candidate profiles within 48 hours. Hiring generally takes around two weeks, assuming two to three interview rounds and candidate refinement. The person may then start immediately or up to four weeks later, depending on their notice period.
