Engineering Recruitment Surrey
Home › Locations › South East › Surrey
Surrey designs supercars and Formula One cars, builds small satellites and is home to thousands of car and technology businesses. Bernoullis delivers engineering recruitment Surrey employers rely on, from Woking and Guildford to Leatherhead, Weybridge, Camberley, Farnham and Redhill. Our engineers recruit engineers for high-performance, space and construction work.
If you are comparing recruitment agencies in Guildford, the difference with Bernoullis is simple: we only recruit engineers, and every candidate is screened by someone who understands the work.
Why Surrey Needs Specialist Engineering Recruitment
Engineering recruitment Surrey employers need is dominated by high-performance vehicles. In September 2026 McLaren announced a £450m investment in the UK and about 1,000 new jobs, on top of around 2,500 people already working at its Woking technology centre. The car business is owned by CYVN Holdings, while the McLaren Racing Formula One team, on the same campus, has separate owners. Business Surrey counts more than 5,000 automotive businesses in the county, including the UK operations of Toyota, Kia, Hyundai and Yamaha, and Gordon Murray’s engineering company.
Guildford is Surrey’s science and space centre. Surrey Satellite Technology, a University of Surrey spin-out now owned by Airbus, designs and builds small satellites, and received an ESA award for excellence in September 2026. Surrey Research Park, opened by the university in 1986, has about 175 companies and 4,500 staff on 70 acres. The Space South Central cluster across Surrey, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight supports around 14,000 jobs.
Construction and consultancy complete the picture. Wates, one of the UK’s largest family-owned construction groups, reported record turnover of £2.56bn in 2025, and KBR has an engineering office in Leatherhead. Business Surrey supports growth across the county. We recruit engineering jobs in Guildford, engineering jobs in Woking and automotive engineering jobs in Surrey of every kind.

Where Surrey’s Engineers Train
The University of Surrey in Guildford is known for space, telecoms and engineering research, and spun out SSTL in the 1980s. Royal Holloway in Egham adds physics and computer science, and both universities feed local employers with graduates.
Surrey’s colleges train technicians and apprentices. Brooklands College in Weybridge, NESCOT in Ewell, East Surrey College in Redhill and Guildford College all run engineering courses, and NESCOT is a partner in the Sussex and Surrey Institute of Technology. McLaren and other large employers run their own apprenticeship and graduate schemes. These routes feed engineering jobs in Surrey, but experienced motorsport and space engineers remain scarce.
