Engineering Recruitment Herefordshire
Home › Locations › West Midlands › Herefordshire
Herefordshire makes nickel alloys for jet engines, presses cider for the world and is home to one of the UK’s newest engineering universities. Bernoullis delivers engineering recruitment Herefordshire employers can rely on, from Hereford and Leominster to Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury and Bromyard. Our engineers recruit engineers who know the work.
Why Herefordshire Needs Specialist Engineering Recruitment
Engineering recruitment Herefordshire employers need is small in volume but highly specialised. Special Metals Wiggin in Hereford is Special Metals’ main European production centre, making nickel-alloy ingot, billet, bar, extrusions, pipe and tube through vacuum melting, powder metallurgy, forging and rolling. It holds approvals from Rolls-Royce and MTU, which makes metallurgy and process roles here some of the most technical engineering jobs in Hereford.
Food and drink is the county’s other big employer. Heineken invested £50m in a new process and packaging building, bottling line and tanks at its Hereford cider plant, the home of Strongbow. Westons Cider at Much Marcle added new presses to raise capacity by 30%. Both need process, packaging, maintenance and automation engineers, creating steady manufacturing jobs in Hereford and the surrounding villages.
The county is also building a new engineering pipeline. Hereford Enterprise Zone at Skylon Park, Rotherwas, reports 37 new companies and 288 new jobs, and hosts the Shell Store incubator and a Midlands Centre for Cyber Security. NMITE, the New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering, offers accelerated engineering degrees from its Hereford campuses. Our engineering recruitment agency in Hereford covers engineering jobs in Herefordshire from the Welsh border to the Malvern Hills.
