Our Story
is a dedicated UK Automation Engineering Support Hub,
built to deliver reliable, responsive, and cost-effective engineering solutions across the UK.
One of the core services within ECS-UK is Shift Hero, founded by automation engineer James McCartney.
With extensive industry experience, James recognised the recurring challenges businesses faced in sourcing skilled engineers and maintaining operational continuity.
Traditional recruitment agencies often lacked the technical expertise to identify high-quality engineering talent, while internal teams were frequently stretched too thin
or lacked critical specialist skills. Shift Hero was established to bridge this gap, delivering flexible, high-calibre engineering support when and where
it's needed most.
Today, under the ECS-UK umbrella, Shift Hero continues to provide rapid-response engineer deployment alongside full project delivery, remote support, and ongoing maintenance.
