The problem
When a turbine goes down or a critical valve needs a VR stamp repair, you need someone who has actually done that work — not someone a recruiter thinks might be qualified. The specialist network in rotating equipment is real, it's tight, and it has always run almost entirely on word of mouth.
Staffing agencies fill the gap, but they know the business side, not the technical side. They charge a significant markup for introductions they often can't properly vet. And for the specialists themselves, there has never been a professional home that reflects what they actually know how to do.
What we built
MechTie gives rotating equipment specialists — field service engineers, valve technicians, turbine mechanics, reliability engineers, and everyone in between — a verified professional profile that captures what they actually know: OEM platforms, equipment verticals, certifications, capabilities, and availability.
For enterprise clients, that means being able to find and contact the right person directly. No guesswork. No agency markup. No resume that leaves you wondering whether someone has actually worked on a Solar Mars 100 or performed a precision alignment on a multistage centrifugal pump.
Beyond discovery, MechTie is growing into a full professional home for the trades — with a knowledge hub, a community endorsement system, and an AI assistant built specifically for this workforce.
Who we are
MechTie was founded by a team of hard-working industry specialists — people who have lived the work firsthand and understood the gap from both sides. The problem wasn't a lack of talent. It was that the talent had nowhere to stand and be seen.
We built MechTie for you. The specialists who show up, who hold the certifications, who have the OEM hours and the field miles — this platform exists to give you the professional presence you've earned. We're building in the open, talking to specialists and employers, and shipping constantly.
“The rotating equipment professional network — the one place where the people who keep this industry moving can be found, verified, and connected.”
