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.
British Engineering Services Asset Reliability delivers specialist Condition Monitoring services that help customers identify potential issues in their assets before they lead to costly failures or unplanned downtime.

You’ll diagnose developing machinery faults and provide practical recommendations that help our customers improve reliability and reduce unplanned downtime.
You will:
- Carry out vibration monitoring and condition monitoring activities across a wide range of industrial rotating equipment.
- Analyse vibration spectra, waveform data and machine trends to identify developing faults and failure modes.
- Diagnose machinery issues including bearing faults, imbalance, misalignment, mechanical looseness and lubrication-related problems.
- Assess the severity and operational risk of identified defects and help customers prioritise corrective maintenance activity.
- Produce clear and accurate condition monitoring reports, providing customers with practical maintenance recommendations.
- Build strong customer relationships, clearly communicating technical findings and supporting improvements in reliability and maintenance performance.
- Maintain customer databases, monitoring routes and asset records, ensuring consistently high reporting standards.
- Continue developing your technical expertise through industry-recognised training and condition monitoring accreditations, while sharing knowledge and best practice across the team.
