How do you want to work? What is your motive for wanting a new challenge?</p><p class="body-l">In this way we aim to deliver true richness to our candidates and ensure we present our clients with inspired and committed people.</p>

A new level of insight

<h3 class="display">Sectors and skills</h3><p>We recruit for most technology design and manufacture roles today, from the people building innovative solutions to society’s biggest challenges, to applications that cross traditional market boundaries. Our clients include disruptive startups, established brands reimagining their product, and legacy markets.</p><p>We recruit anybody from design engineers in automotive or autonomous mobility to data specialists in manufacturing. Many of our candidates are chosen because their skills and qualities are needed to produce technologies that are in the throes of being born right now.</p>

<h4 class="display">We’re often with a candidate for their <span>entire journey</span> from entry level to leader.</h4>

<p class="bigger">Gerrell &amp; Hard’s approach to your experience as a candidate is to build a mutually beneficial, lasting relationship founded on trust and a deep understanding of what motivates and drives you.</p><p>We’ve had the pleasure, many times over, of being part of a candidate’s journey—from helping them secure their first role to having them engage us to help them build their new team.

<p class="body-l">We’d love to hear from you. Please use the form below or the contact details provided to get in touch with us. One of our consultants will respond as soon as possible.</p>

Since 2020 we have seized the opportunity to encourage home/flexible working, giving our team more time for their lives and downsizing our offices to a sustainable office space at Pure in Port Solent whose commitment to Net Zero we admire. Pure runs on 100% renewable energy, recycles 70-80% of its waste and offers sustainable commuting.

As a carbon reduction initiative we subscribe to Ecologi reforestation (we previously used eForest), which means that for every candidate we place, a tree is planted in a habitat restoration project here in the UK or at select projects abroad. Ecologi's work helps to reinvigorate ecosystems by planting native trees, but also by working with local communities to ensure the ongoing, sustainable use of the land.

Our charity work reflects the interests of our employees and we’re happy to support any cause that matters to the team. We have supported charities including Naomi House and Jack’s place, participating in runs, cycles, walks, bake days and more.

<p>With a heritage rooted in Geely Holding&rsquo;s global automotive success, Geely Auto UK brings nearly three decades of engineering expertise, cutting-edge R&amp;D and a future-focused outlook to the UK market. Founded in 1986 by Eric Li, Geely &ndash; which means &ldquo;lucky&rdquo; in Mandarin Chinese &ndash; has become a game-changer behind household names including Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Zeekr and more. Now launching its first vehicle in the UK, Geely Auto UK is building a confident, ambitious, next-generation brand headquartered in Milton Keynes.</p>

<h2>Culture and careers</h2>
<p class="body-l">We're proud to support Geely Auto UK as it accelerates the growth of its team, recruiting across sales, marketing, logistics, finance, IT, dealerships and aftersales.</p>
<p>As a UK entity backed by an established OEM Group, Geely Auto UK combines the excitement of a startup with the credibility and resources of a global automotive leader. It&rsquo;s a thrilling environment: people-centred, warm and collaborative, with a strong focus on employee wellbeing, development and accessible leadership.</p>

<p>Generally, Geely Auto UK seeks driven individuals with:</p>

<p>ELM began life in 2023 as a collaboration between Prodrive and Astheimer Design to create the first ground-up, fit-for-purpose last mile delivery platform, making a positive difference to cities around the world.</p>
<p>Now an independent business, ELM&rsquo;s vision is to be the leader in zero-emission last mile transport, delivering game-changing efficiency with small, lightweight vehicles. With investment from Barclays Climate Ventures and support from the Advanced Propulsion Centre, ELM is engaged in developing the vehicles and digital tools to turn this vision into reality.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What kind of people does ELM recruit?</h2>
<p>As an in-demand startup tackling some of the most urgent logistical challenges we face today, ELM has robust growth plans. As such we&rsquo;ll be helping the brand to hire a range of highly-skilled professionals from product development to supply chain, quality, manufacturing and operations.</p>
<h2 style="margin-top: 2rem;">Culture and working environment</h2>
<p>ELM&rsquo;s culture is markedly different from an established OEM. It&rsquo;s a hands-on business with an intentionally small team, where collaboration with external partners is a critical part of the strategy.</p>
<p>Communication, ownership and relationship-building are therefore as important as technical ability. While experience in automotive, commercial and agricultural vehicles or wider mobility is valuable, employees must first and foremost thrive with a broad remit. That could mean visiting customers to understand their requirements, working on product development or helping your colleagues with business critical activities.</p>
<p>The team values people who are humble, inquisitive and energised by variety and responsibility. The structure is extremely flat, with people encouraged to raise problems and discuss them openly.</p>
<p>ELM is based in central Leamington Spa, within walking distance of the railway station. Roles are site-based, reflecting the close collaboration and warm, shared culture of a small team that is building something together&ndash;whether that&rsquo;s over breakfast in the office or a stroll into town after work.&nbsp;</p>

As the business evolves, Fellten is sharpening its product portfolio and routes to market, positioning itself as a scalable provider of energy storage solutions across the UK and beyond.</p>

<h2>Who does Fellten recruit?</h2>
<p>Fellten is building a team that reflects both the technical ambition of the business and its pace of growth. Roles span engineering, commercial and operational functions, including software and hardware engineers, field-based technical support, procurement, sales and business development.</p>
<p>Culturally, Fellten operates as a fast-moving, engineering-led SME. Individuals who succeed in the business tend to be comfortable working in an environment where priorities can change quickly, and where collaboration across disciplines is the norm.</p>
<p>While experience in energy, EV or electrification is valuable, it&rsquo;s not essential. More important is mindset: people who are willing to take ownership, adapt quickly, and contribute in a hands-on way as the business scales.</p>

<ul>
<li>Versatile and willing to step outside defined roles</li>
<li>Technically strong, with a practical approach to problem-solving</li>
<li>Comfortable operating in a growing, evolving business</li>
<li>Motivated by delivering real-world solutions, not just concepts</li>

<li>Highly technical, with strong engineering capability</li>
<li>Adaptable and comfortable in an innovative environment.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Gerrell &amp; Hard team has supplied to the Gordon Murray Group for over a decade.</p>

<p>Magma Global develops and produces the world&rsquo;s most advanced subsea pipe for oil and gas. Beginning as an R&amp;D company, the Portchester-based business was founded to solve problems that have historically dogged marine steel and flexibles technology: corrosion, temperature, high pressure and speed of deployment. Magma&rsquo;s m-pipe&reg; technology simplifies subsea architecture thanks to low weight, high strength, flexibility and standardised design, and is proving a game-changer for the marine, oil and gas industries.</p>

<h2 class="body-l">Who does Magma Global hire?&nbsp;</h2>
<p class="body-l">Magma is driven by innovation, New Product Development and the continual testing required to refine complex, proprietary technologies and bring them to market. It hires degree-to-PhD-level engineers, material specialists for R&amp;D work, data analysts, FEA specialists, test and a number of support and management roles. While PhD candidates are welcome, the focus is on applied rather than academic research.</p>
<p>Candidates for Magma roles may come from aerospace, automotive, renewables or any environment that requires or develops expertise in composite products. Sometimes, Portuguese language skills are an advantage for specific roles, with Brazil a significant market.</p>
<p>Cross-departmental interaction is essential to Magma's success, particularly between the R&amp;D, industrialisation, test, quality, electrical control and manufacturing teams. As such, it's possible for staff to move between teams and the environment is one where enjoyably collaborative working comes naturally.</p>
<p>Innovation is also critical to Magma's success: so innovative are its products that the company had to design its own production equipment and process in order to manufacture them.</p>
<p>Magma's diverse team works within a welcoming, inclusive, respectful culture where continuous professional development is cherished and tailored to the individual. The team has a lot of fun, with group activities that make the most of its harborside location and proximity to the South Downs, such as lunchtime paddleboarding sessions and occasional cycling events.</p>

<p>Sonardyne provides ample opportunity for employees to develop and grow with the company, with the option to transition across departments or projects. Many roles also provide the opportunity for substantial travel as the business has customer sites on vessels, in marinas and offshore across the world, as well as its own trial facility in Plymouth.</p>
