The problem
Every LRQA surveillance visit means scrambling through SharePoint folders, chasing paper passports, and paying a consultant £5k–£15k to compile evidence you already have — just not in the right format.
Classifying scope, creating folders, drafting acknowledgements, estimating fees — 45–60 minutes per email, every time. At 10 enquiries a week, that is a full working day on admin, not engineering.
Early warnings missed. DNO outage notifications sent late. CDM notifications overlooked. Not because your team is careless — because they are engineers handling administration they were never meant to do.
OpsWork was built inside Saqib Engineering Ltd — our own UK HV substation consultancy in Rotherham — and has been processing real DNO enquiries, NERS evidence and NEC4 obligations since April 2026. The product you see is the product we use.

OpsWork Ltd routine access to your data
Support access only happens when you say yes.
Data sovereignty
OpsWork lives inside your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment. Nothing leaves your boundary. You stay in control of every decision.
SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, Excel. Agents work here with a full audit log.
OpsWork agents, Azure OpenAI Foundry, audit logs. Decisions come back to you. Always.
Approve, Tell Agent, or Postpone. Three buttons. Thirty seconds.
After we deploy, OpsWork has no routine access to your data. We configure, we leave, and you own everything.
How a decision flows
A DNO enquiry arrives. Emma reads it, classifies it, drafts the response, creates the SharePoint folder, and sends it to The Bridge for your approval. You review, you approve, the reply goes out.

The team
They do not forget expiry dates. They do not lose SharePoint folders. They do not wait until Monday to triage a DNO email. They do not need holiday cover.
Business Development
Triages every DNO enquiry, drafts the response, and watches every tender portal.
See Emma's work →Compliance & Quality
Keeps NERS, ISO 9001 and CDM evidence ready every day — not the week before LRQA arrive.
See Sarah's work →Project Management
Tracks every NEC4 early warning, compensation event and programme milestone before they become claims.
See James's work →Engineering
Indexes IEC 60287, BS EN 50522, G99, NERS v10 — searchable by clause, voltage band and DNO.
See Robert's work →Finance
Drafts every Application for Payment with NEC4 evidence attached — payment certificates start on time.
See Michael's work →HR & Admin
Runs IR35, CHAS/SSIP and insurance checks on every subcontractor before they get site access.
See Paul's work →How it works
The product is already built for UK HV work. Workflows, agents, NERS evidence templates, NEC4 obligation tracking, drawing register patterns — all configured and tested in production. Implementation is data migration and tenant configuration, not workflow design.
The 14-day deployment
Workflow scoping and Microsoft 365 access review
Azure subscription setup, Foundry quota, six-agent deployment
Document mapping, SharePoint structure, project register migration
Testing against your real enquiries and workflows
Team handover, training, go-live acceptance
14-day implementation guarantee.
If implementation runs past day 14 for reasons within our control, we credit one month and continue at our cost until full handover.
Then it runs daily
Emma triages every enquiry. Sarah keeps NERS evidence live. James tracks NEC4. Robert registers drawings. Michael drafts invoices. Paul manages HR and subcontractors.
Source-referenced, confidence-scored, audit-logged. One morning queue for all six agents.
Approve. Tell Agent. Postpone. Three buttons. Thirty seconds. Nothing reaches a client without your sign-off.
Integrations
OpsWork agents live inside your Microsoft 365 environment. No new logins. No separate platform. Your engineers interact with the agents through Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint — exactly as they already work.
OpsWork is also callable via MCP from any AI tool that supports the open standard.
Onboarding capacity
Implementation quality and founder access matter more than growth speed. We onboard one new UK HV consultancy or delivery team per month so each customer gets a 14-day deployment with direct line to the founder.
