Our job is to help keep our customers’ assets legally compliant, operational and, above all, safe. We achieve this by bringing together a team of the very best and most talented people.
With our specialist asset reliability services, we help prevent machinery failures and, as a result, unscheduled (and, very often, costly) downtime for our customers. We’re all about operational efficiency and our team of highly skilled engineers not only use, but also develop and produce, some of the most sophisticated technology to help keep our customers’ assets doing what they need to, without any unexpected surprises along the way.

As a Business Development Manager for the BES Asset Reliability sales team, you will be looking to grow long term and profitable business by monitoring and researching the sector to identify, approach and qualify new customers in line with BES Asset Reliability goals.
You will:
- Visit customer sites to present our services and survey their current requirements
- Manage new customers set-up, including the creation of accurate records and required documentation
- Contribute to the development of effective business strategies, priorities and market propositions, drawing on your own industry knowledge and understanding of our products and competitors
- Proactively keep abreast of established companies and new start-ups. Sharing industry knowledge with your colleagues, raising your understanding of opportunities across the wider company
- Build good working relationships with your peers and across the business; sharing opportunities for cross-selling of the multi-department service portfolio
- Attend industry events - webinars, forums, conferences, debates - remaining informed on competitors entering the market.
