What will you be doing?
In its simplest and most explicit form, industrial safety can be a matter of life or death. As an engineer in the BES Group, you’ll be helping to make sure industry, businesses and people are safe.
Whether you’re inspecting a pressure vessel for faults or testing a piece of lifting equipment to make sure it’s still working as it should, you’ll be making a real difference to peoples’ safety.
Who would our roles be suitable for?
Veteran engineers that have hands-on practical experience and a Level 3 or 4 qualification will be considered for our Engineer Surveyor and Reliability Engineer roles.
For our Examining Engineer Trainee, we offer full training as well as support with any qualifications needed for the role, meaning no formal qualifications are required - just the passion and drive to learn a new skill.
What skills/qualities/qualifications we’re looking for?
We know that we’re the best in the industry for keeping businesses compliant and people safe, and that’s down to the excellence of our team. This means you’ll need certain qualifications and practical experience to be suitable for a position with us:
- A Level 4 (or Level 3) engineering qualification and a good level of practical experience
- Practical experience working with various types of machinery or pressure equipment
- The ability to communicate complex and technical problems with ease
- A good level of IT and literacy skills to complete detailed customer reports.
So, what makes the BES Group such a good place to work?
Our people come first, every time. We want to inspire everyone to see how important safety is and we expect the same from our people. If you’re on the same page as us about that, and have got the right skills, experience and attitude, you’ll fit right in.
Ultimately, we want our people to be themselves and are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and that will never change!
Why should you consider applying?
We’ve seen the value in your skills and experience. Around 20% of our Inspection Engineers are veterans, with many more across the wider business. This means that you’ll have a network of likeminded people within this business to support with your transition out of the military.

Case Study:
Hear from one of our own Unit Leaders who joined us after leaving the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), and his journey with the BES Group so far:
Lee Chapman joined us in 2017 and is a huge advocate of both our company and the Engineer Surveyor role. Like many of his colleagues, he came from a military background and with his engineering experience and constant enthusiasm, has had a huge impact on everything he does.
After serving fourteen years within the REME, Lee transitioned into the civilian world and became a Machinery Engineer Surveyor with the BES Group. Leaving a demanding and varied leadership role, it was a breath of fresh air to get his hands dirty and still enjoy some of the challenges he’d became accustomed to whilst serving in the military:
“After starting with BES Group, I didn’t immediately realise the importance and responsibility that I held to help keep people safe in their place of work, including members of the public.
"Our clients rely on us to provide them with details of any defects, damages, wear, and deterioration that could cause harm, so that any potential accidents can be prevented.
"What more can I say? Every day is a school day as an Engineer Surveyor!”
