More about Customer Commitment

Our primary focus is on adding value at the front-end of a project and providing robust project management support to clients. We always ‘go the extra mile’ and take satisfaction from knowing we have added value to the client’s projects and helped to improve the safety, cost efficiency, scope and quality of the engineering from the initial concept presented. The SBS role is to integrate its divisional services in order to provide a one-off focused evaluation study or a ‘one-stop-shop’ that can cover the marine, subsea and subsurface aspects of the development, topsides facilities, as well as economic assessments during the concept definition and selection process, through to offshore installation and to integrate these specialist support services seamlessly into Customer development teams. Including our staff, clients have access to more than 600 specialist engineers, safety professionals and scientists.

Being truly independent, we differ from our key competitors in that:

• We have no technology or development-solution bias.
• We can focus solely on the needs of our Customers rather than parent-company dictates.
• We have no vested interest in the detailed design phase.
• We manage and retain our personnel outside of a volume engineering HR infrastructure, providing long-term knowledge, captured from high calibre consulting personnel and ensuring continuity of service to our Clients at all times.
• What sets SBS apart from other consultancies is its integration. Our team members work as a tightly co-ordinated unit, sharing data, managing risks and opportunities, and delivering ‘true value’ to our Clients quickly and cost effectively.

As a valued Client, you will benefit from:

• Our independence – when you work with SBS, you will not find conflicts of interest from other equity partner/owners. We retain 100% of our equity. This allows us to focus on finding the right solutions to meet your needs, working with your teams throughout the project development/completion cycle.
• Our integration – we help you to make the most of your development opportunities by using our connected expertise in marine, reservoir, subsea, flow assurance, facilities and operations management.
• Our resources – our integrated, teamwork-based business model helps us attract and retain the best consultants and staff engineers in all of our specialist fields so we are able to consistently give you high-quality, best-in-class advice and service.
• Our knowledge and experience – many of our team members are recognised industry leaders, ready to share their extensive knowledge and experience of the international energy industry through SBS with you and your staff.
• Our customer focus – SBS is an owner-managed company. We take a sensitive, responsive approach to resolving our Clients’ needs and developing long-term relationships as we continue to build SBS as a world-class company and brand.
