As a leading engineering company operating at the forefront of Valve Technology, and one which remains privately-owned, BEL Valves is able to offer engineers the opportunity to work on the most advanced equipment available, to apply their skills in a very practical way, and to make a real contribution to the development of the business.

Whilst BEL Valves is one of the largest employers in the North East, and has a turnover of more than £40 million, it is able to retain a vibrant, family feel, and provide the opportunity for staff to be able to influence decision making at the highest level.

Career development opportunities are second-to-none, with a significant number of managers at BEL Valves having started their careers at BEL Valves as apprentices and trainees. Underlining our commitment to our people is our accredited Investors in People status.

People enjoy working for BEL Valves because of the job satisfaction that comes from technically challenging work, working with interesting materials and the very latest equipment, and the opportunity to experience a variety of roles and in some cases international travel. Reading our employees’ Career profiles will give you a unique insight into what it is like to work for BEL Valves.

Staff turnover is among the lowest in the UK Oil and Gas industry. And whilst demand for engineering skills remains competitive, BEL Valves has its own solution to this widespread industry challenge, hiring leavers directly from schools in the North East to its established Apprenticeship programme. BEL Valves also maintains strong links with schools, colleges and universities in the local area, providing student placements, student visits, projects, and the joint development of training courses and programmes.

Working for BEL Valves, a division of British Engines Ltd, means joining a highly respected, world class company with an enviable record of product development, a strong investment programme, and a global customer base which includes SPS Companies, Subsea Installers, Engineering Contractors, and the world’s largest Oil and Gas operators.
