under their control / in production
Explanation:
Two possibilities, you're in the best position to decide which is more appropriate.

Possibility 1: the person is working in production. The "régie" in audio/audio-visual production is the section that actually produces a show (the control room). A régisseur, to complete the argument, is a producer.

Possibility 2: the person is working under the direct control of the comnpany that supplied him or her, rather than under the control of the company where he or she is working (an "on force account", in the field of personnel management).

cost-plus


Explanation:
'en régie' is often used for a cost-plus type contract, in this case presumably a fixed daily rate + any expenses or other expenditure.
