Timesheet software built for engineering teams
The right engineering time tracking software helps you stick to project scopes and prevents budget overruns.
Whether you're a civil, mechanical, software, or environmental engineer, keeping track of billable hours across multiple projects and clients is a constant challenge.
Most engineers are salaried, yet time tracking is still essential to ensure each client is billed appropriately and budgets stay on track.
My Hours gives engineering teams a simple way to log time, control budgets, and bill clients accurately — without the complexity of enterprise software.
Organized Workloads
Engineers are often required to switch between projects throughout the day. Without an organized system, it’s easy to record time against the wrong deliverables.

"I was impressed by this tool because it's easy to use and makes it simple to track the time each team member spends on every project, task, or client."
- Sagar S., Mechanical or Industrial Engineering
Flexible Billing Structures
Many engineering contracts operate on a flat-fee basis, but some may require hourly billing structures.
2. Task-based rate allows you to tailor rates at the task level
4. Non-reimbursable work is marked as non-billable
"We need the software to quickly track our hours on projects and the main advantage of the MyHours software is how easy it is to use it."
- Damian W., Software Engineer
Budget Control
Flat-fee contracts require careful budget control to maintain profitable margins. Without oversight, funds are quickly depleted and costs exceed projections.
"Very good. As a consultant it makes it super easy to track time for all of my clients."
- Stephen B., Software Engineer
Efficient Expense Capture
It’s not just labor costs that must be accounted for. Engineers must also track billable expenses to ensure the organization is compensated accordingly.
"Keeping track of the hours spent on each project is of paramount importance in my job. My Hours allows me to do this without any effort."
- Rachel Q., Environmental Engineer
Track CLIN and WBS Codes
Complex engineering projects use contract line numbers (CLIN) and work breakdown structures (WBS). These codes must be assigned to deliverables to maintain clear information for billing and reporting.
"Great value for money — dashboard, insights, and team management work well for project collaboration.
Custom columns and budget tracking give good flexibility for managing multiple projects.
Time tracking core functionality is reliable, and the learning curve is low for new team members."
- Zeya M., Associate Data Analyst – Analytics Engineering
Client Reporting
Clients need detailed, transparent breakdowns of how their money is spent.
The Detailed report for deep insights and analysis
The Timesheet report for a full picture of team time and activities
"If you need a simple, cheap, user friendly timesheeting app, with heaps of reporting and dashboard features, then look no further.
The fact that it seemlessly incorporates project management, cost data, invoicing and a whole lot more is just added bonuses! "
- Geoffrey C., Systems Engineer
Streamlined Invoicing
My Hours provides a simple way to bill clients without shuffling data from one platform to another.
Contractual and Regulatory Compliance
Engineering contracts come with strict terms over how money is spent and how work should be performed. Additionally, regulatory bodies like GDPR and DCAA have their own set of compliance rules that engineering firms may have to abide by.
Your data stays protected and compliant at every step.
