Leadership & Experience

With more than 60 years of combined engineering experience, SB Engineering provides practical engineering solutions across infrastructure, renewable energy, utilities, marine operations and specialist fabrication throughout the UK.

The Leadership Team

SB Engineering is led by Technical Director Stephen Beadsmoore and Operations Director Nathan Beadsmoore. Together they bring decades of practical engineering experience across civil engineering, infrastructure, marine operations, renewable energy and specialist mechanical engineering.

Throughout their careers they have successfully delivered complex engineering projects throughout the UK and internationally, supporting both public and private sector organisations with practical, solutions-focused engineering expertise.

Stephen Beadsmoore

MANAGING DIRECTOR

Stephen Beadsmoore founded SB Engineering in 1983 and has over four decades of engineering experience spanning specialist fabrication, machinery design, infrastructure projects and technical consultancy.

Beginning his career building high-performance competition engines for motorsport, Stephen quickly established a reputation for solving complex engineering challenges through practical innovation. Since then, he has led the design, manufacture and delivery of bespoke engineering solutions across multiple industries.

His experience includes designing specialist equipment for the utilities sector, contributing to major drinking water infrastructure projects, supporting the construction of offshore wind developments, and developing innovative engineering solutions recognised at national level.

A career highlight was leading the design and development of a high-speed offshore crew transfer vessel, which became a finalist for a national offshore innovation award. The project was recognised by leading organisations within the renewable energy sector for its technical innovation and forward-thinking design.

Alongside these flagship projects, Stephen has spent more than forty years providing engineering support, fabrication, technical consultancy and bespoke design solutions to clients throughout the UK. His reputation has been built on practical thinking, technical knowledge and an ability to solve unusual engineering challenges where standard solutions are not enough.

As Technical Director, Stephen continues to oversee the company’s technical development, engineering design and specialist consultancy services.

Nathan Beadsmoore

Operations Director

Nathan Beadsmoore brings extensive experience leading engineering operations both onshore and offshore, combining practical project management with hands-on technical expertise.

Prior to joining SB Engineering, Nathan Beadsmoore spent more than a decade working within the marine and offshore industries, operating commercial workboats and managing complex projects in demanding environments around the world. His experience includes offshore construction support, hydrographic survey operations and marine logistics, where maintaining safety, efficiency and operational performance was critical.

His experience includes leading large-scale marine logistics operations in politically high-risk regions, including the successful delivery of 14,000 metric tonnes of materials through a hostile operational environment. The project required detailed planning, coordination of multiple assets and strict safety management, resulting in successful completion with no damage to assets and no casualties.

Since transitioning into land-based engineering, Nathan has led engineering teams delivering renewable energy, infrastructure and specialist industrial projects. His work has included managing large-scale solar developments, supporting engineering innovation, improving operational efficiency and developing practical solutions to complex technical challenges.

Nathan has also played a leading role in the development of innovative engineering technologies, including prototype offshore support vessels and specialist safety equipment that has since influenced wider industry practice.

Since becoming Operations Director of SB Engineering, he has focused on strengthening operational processes, maintaining an excellent safety culture and supporting the continued growth of the business.

His practical leadership style combines engineering knowledge with operational experience, allowing projects to be delivered safely, efficiently and to a consistently high standard.
