This sounds like the XY Problem[1]. Why do you want a senior engineer, that isn't a contractor, but doesn't work as much? What country are you in? Do you want to pay this employee an hourly rate? Why do you think a contractor could only be scoped to one project? Why is this described as a "guru" role? Are you sure you aren't looking for a "consultant" instead?

- em-bee 5y agoi don't see anything in the post that says that contractors can only work on projects, just that they are not looking for that kind of contractors, but they are looking for someone who ins interested in a permanent engagement. it could still be a contractor, although if that person does not have any other clients at the same time, in some jurisdictions they legally can only be an employee. consultant is very broad. i worked as a consultant for some clients, and it is nothing like the post describes. sure, the described position could be called a consultant, but describing it as a "guru" is much more descriptive and makes clear what they are actually looking for.
