Kieran received this mug from his niece recently… and to be fair, she wasn’t wrong! 😂☕

But it got us thinking, plane spotting isn’t that far off from what we do every day in Engineering & Technical Recruitment. Both take a bit of obsession, curiosity, and an eye for the details most people miss 👀.

Whether it’s identifying a Rolls-Royce Trent engine from 3,000ft 🛫 or pinpointing the right HVAC or Maintenance Engineer for a key client 🔧 — it’s all about passion, precision, and knowing what you’re looking for.

The “plane spotting wankers” of the world are the same type who keep industries running — the detail-obsessed, the technically minded, and the ones who genuinely care about getting it right ✅.

Here’s to the engineers, technicians, and recruiters who notice the small things — because that’s what makes all the difference 👏

🚀 What a blast at the Scotland Manufacturing & Supply Chain Expo!

We spent the day soaking up innovation, meeting brilliant engineers, and discovering cutting-edge tech across the manufacturing and supply chain world. Big thanks to the Scotland Manufacturing & Supply Chain Expo team for pulling together such a fantastic event 👏

One of the highlights: getting to hang out by the HAAS F1 pop-up (yep, that’s Kieran in the pic). As a die-hard Mercedes fan, he had to resist the urge to swap their livery!

🔧 A few reflections from the recruitment side:

The energy around robotics, precision engineering, and digital transformation was electric ⚡

For companies scaling their engineering teams: now’s the time to lean into innovation and talent acquisition like never before

For engineers and technical pros: never underestimate the power of showing up — conversations here could lead to your next big break

PS … don’t tell Toto, Kiera was flirting with HAAS! 😉

Happy Friday, everyone!

Now, if you know us, you’ll know Scottish Rugby often sneaks into our conversations—and truth be told, some of us are well past being “passionate supporters” (dedicated might be the kinder word 😅).

This week, Scottish Rugby announced several senior appointments to strengthen their High-Performance Department, with David Nucifora—the mastermind behind Ireland’s rugby transformation—helping shape the future. The focus? Building pathways and investing in the people and structures that give young players the best chance of success.

That really resonates with us as a business. In the Engineering & Technical industries, we see the same challenge: if we want the next generation of engineers, innovators, and leaders, we can’t just hope the talent will appear.

We need structured pathways, dedicated mentors, and an environment where people can grow and perform at their best.

Just like rugby, it’s about spotting potential early, investing in development, and creating the right conditions for success.

So, as we close the week, here’s our thought:

👉 Let’s build Engineering & Technical pathways that are every bit as ambitious and supportive as those in sport. Because when you nurture future stars properly—whether it’s on the field or in the workplace—everybody wins.

Enjoy the weekend from all of us here—and good luck to our fellow slightly over-invested rugby supporters out there! 🏉

🔧 Why We Exist at ERS

Engineering isn’t just a sector to us—it’s part of who we are.

Our founder grew up surrounded by the trade—his dad was a Commercial Gas Engineer—and from a young age he was fascinated by boilers, pipework, and the “behind-the-scenes” systems that keep everything moving.

That early passion shaped ERS into what it is today: a recruitment partner that truly understands Engineering & Technical people.

At ERS, we believe being an Engineer is all about problem-solving—and that’s exactly what we do in recruitment: solving the challenge of connecting exceptional talent with the right businesses in a tough market.

This isn’t just a business idea for us—it’s a personal mission.

🚚 Spotting FM vans on the road and instantly wondering who’s behind them.
🍻 Turning a casual brewery tour in Aberdeen into a 10-year client relationship (by asking who maintains the steam boilers, not about the beer!).
✈️ Standing at Glasgow Airport, staring up in awe at planes—still fascinated by the engineering brilliance that keeps them in the air.

That same curiosity and respect is why, when we meet a client, we’re the first to ask for a plant room, machine shop, or production floor tour. We don’t just “place candidates”—we immerse ourselves in the environments and industries we serve.

ERS was built on admiration for Engineers, Technicians, and Technical Professionals. Our role? To be the trusted partner who values your skills, understands your challenges, and connects the right people to keep the world moving.

⚙️ Engineers build the world. We’re here to make sure the right talent is in place to do it.

It’s not every day that roles like this come up in Scotland…

I’m working with a leading manufacturer of HVAC & Renewable Energy Technologies who are making a big investment in Scotland and building their regional team. This is a chance to join right at the start of that journey, with genuine opportunities to grow your career as the business grows.

What makes this unique?

✔ Direct role with the manufacturer – full product training provided
✔ Service, maintenance, commissioning & fault finding (no installation work)
✔ Major service & maintenance contract with local authority (20 plant rooms)
✔ Base salary around £50k + choice of company car (hybrid SUV) or van, overtime & paid travel
✔ Chance to upskill with F-Gas 2079 and move into renewable technologies

This is a rare chance to join a manufacturer expanding in Scotland, with a clear commitment to developing their people and building long-term careers.

If you’re a Commercial Gas Engineer in Glasgow/Edinburgh looking for that next step – this is one not to miss.

At ERS, we believe recruitment is about more than filling jobs — it’s about building real relationships. That’s why we get in front of our clients as often as possible.

Here are a few pictures from a recent face-to-face meeting 👇

Conversations like these let us really understand what our partners need — and this time, we came away with an exciting opportunity for a Commercial Gas Engineer to join a specialist and nice HVAC provider covering Scotland on a full time permanent basis.

Here’s what’s on offer:

💷 Competitive Salary: up to £49k base on a 40-hour week
🚗 Paid Door-to-Door Travel: you’re earning from the moment you leave home
🎯 Annual Bonus: £2k–£5k
⏱ Overtime: paid at x1.5
🚐 Company Vehicle: van with personal use included
📚 Training & Development: grow your skills in installation, commissioning, servicing, and fault-finding across a variety of HVAC systems

At ERS, relationships come first — opportunities follow.

If this sounds like your next move, or you know someone who’d be a great fit, let’s chat.
