Overview

Babcock is a global engineering services organisation with 35,000 people behind us. As the biggest company of our kind in the UK, Babcock is trusted to deliver support across the Marine, Land, Aviation and Nuclear sectors. And with £30bn of business in the pipelines, we’re set to stay busy.

Our work is incredibly diverse. Police forces turn to us to convert commercial vehicles into high-performance response cars and vans. We helped design the UK’s biggest aircraft carriers. And you can find us in Dounreay, where we oversee Europe's largest nuclear site clean-up and closure project. At the heart of everything we do are our values: trust, respect, safety, simplifying the complex and challenging ourselves to do better.

These projects take all different kinds of professionals, from chartered engineers and project managers, to naval architects, data analysts and everything in between. To bring through the next generation of engineering and business experts, we offer apprenticeships and roles for students, graduates and fully-qualified professionals.

There’s never been a better time to join us. Whether you’re looking for a new business management project or engineering role, join Babcock and grow with us.

Reviews

Mechanical Fitter in Plymouth, Devon
on 13 May 2023
Balanced payment / workload
Good place to work, depending on who you are and where you from. Often, people who are liked by managers get rewarded and offered better tasks and future opportunities, not based on actual work quality and achievements of the individual. Diversity is encouraged on posters around dockyard, but not in reality.

Nepotism
Good working environment, sadly all staff have connections with other staff - partners, sisters, mothers, fathers and friends. The result is hierarchy and toxicity.
Technical Training Instructor (FTC) in Heathrow, Greater London

Babcock Technical Training position
As a contractor I was supported from day one. A typical day would be preparing the documentation and paperwork materials to conduct training and provide next steps certifications for session attendees, inputting the relevant data into databases. The culture was fun yet structured. The biggest challenge was not having experiential knowledge of the the roles I was training and facilitating on
Data Entry Clerk in Plymouth, Devon

Fun
A job description summarizes the essential responsibilities, activities, qualifications and skills for a role. Also known as a JD, this document describes the type of work performed. A job description should include important company details — company mission, culture and any benefits it provides to employees.
