Engineering Services Online

Background - Engineering Services Online

As engineers ourselves, we were continually frustrated by how difficult it was to quickly and easily source top quality engineering services, suppliers, equipment or employees for the industry in which we were working. Searching the internet was frustrating because there were clearly a huge number of engineering suppliers out there, but trying to match the right supplier with the right experience and product range was extremely difficult. Trying to source a supplier close to you was often impossible.  The other thing that we found frustrating and annoying was the extent of misleading and irrelevant advertising on sites and this was something we wanted to avoid at all costs.  We also noticed that there was no where to sell used second hand equipment cost effectively, and no where for engineers to communicate with each other and help each other out.

In short, there was no integrated engineering website in Australia which met the needs of an engineer. So we decided to build the ultimate engineering site – somewhere where all engineers could find exactly what they want - quickly, easily and without being distracted by irrelevant advertising!

In 2008 our dream was realised and ESO was born.

ESO aims to be the website of choice for engineers in Australia and New Zealand.

 

Engineering Services Online (ESO)

 

 

Engineering Suppliers

The unique ESO Supplier Search facility will allow you to source engineering suppliers within Australia and New Zealand quickly and easily.

Here at Engineering Services Online we believe that the internet has now expanded to a point where the sheer volume of information makes it more and more difficult to find the specialised information that engineers require. The quality of search results on the internet today is also greatly influenced by advertising. This typically means that it is not the best search result presented at the top of the page, but rather the company which has paid the most in advertising. In our opinion, this means that the quality of the results is biased.

At ESO we are engineers too - so we understand that when you search the internet you simply want to find the most suitable local engineering supplier who has experience in your specific industry of interest. That is why we have developed a different search facility.

When you use ESO Supplier Search  you will note the following key differences:

  • Engineering Suppliers only (ie no magazine articles, blogs or other irrelevant literature)
  • Absolutely NO ADVERTISING (ie the search results  are not biased by advertising and you cannot pay us more to be listed at the top)
  • The ability to list suppliers by closest post code (find someone around the corner)
  • The ability to find suppliers who have worked in the applicable industry before (relevant experience)
  • The ability to have suppliers sorted by any of the following ranking areas
    • Price, Delivery, Quality, Service, Overall Average 

 

Engineering Forum

The ESO engineering forum provides a place where engineering professionals can correspond, learn and network.

The Engineering Forum offers the following facilities:

  • The ability to post engineering questions and have them answered by other users
  • A Forum which is broken down into engineering disciplines
  • A Forum search facility to allow searching of previous postings, words, authors etc
  • A FAQ Section (Frequently Asked Questions) covering the entire Engineering Services Online Website

 

Engineering Jobs

ESO engineering jobs  provides a quick and easy portal for engineers seeking employment, or companies wanting to advertise engineering or technical positions.

When searching for employment, engineers can use the Engineering Jobs Search facility to refine their search by any or all of the following criteria:

  • Country
  • State
  • Work type (Full time, Part Time, Contract/Temp, Casual)
  • Industry
  • Key Word

When advertising a position it's as simple as clicking on the "Advertise a job" button - and please note that it is FREE TO ADVERTISE

Whether you are an engineer or an employer - why not check out this great service.  You have nothing to lose either way. 

 

Engineering Equipment

The ESO engineering equipment section of the website allows suppliers to list either second hand or new equipment for sale. Engineers seeking engineering equipment will have the ability to search and view the equipment and contact the seller directly for further details, discussion or purchase.

When searching for equipment, engineers can use the Equipment Search facility to refine their search by any or all of the following criteria:

  • Country
  • State
  • Condition (New, Used)
  • Industry Type
  • Key Word

One of the key differences with the Equipment section is that it is extremely cheap and your advertisement will be listed on the site for atleast 6 months ! 

The prices range from a minimum of $10 (prices up to $999) to a maximum of $750 (prices over $500,000).  Typically the price is in the range of 1% to 0.15% of the value of the equipment being sold.
