Time to move on with the times

Contract Site Manager (Current Employee) - Rosyth, Fife - 26 May 2022

Good but they need to expand meaning move away from the old dock yard mentality, meaning taking forever to do things and make resistive decisions , the money wasted is extraordinarily they usual British old works ways , they days have gone for good !

Not set up or prepared for change. Last minute .com on most things and to many mixed messages.

Training Manager, South West (Former Employee) - South West - 22 May 2022

At ground level people are nice but even management and senior management silently agree it is poorly run as a business and company. Only in it for profit and not what they can do for the people they are training. Learners are just numbers and new ideas do not even get a reply.

Tanker Driver/Deputy Fuels Manager (Current Employee) - RAF Northolt - 7 May 2022

Low pay and job changes, additional duties added to your workload for no extra pay. Alot of responsibility for very low money, okay if your retired and not looking for a fair salary.

Excellent place to work

Survival Equipment Supervisor (Former Employee) - Linton-on-Ouse, North Yorkshire - 1 May 2022

I can only comment about the site / manager I worked with but he & the people I worked with were excellent- more like a family. Senior management only appear when they have to. Hands are tied for progression depending on trade. And if your face fits.

Pros

Work life balance good

Cons

Below average pay for similar jobs in sector

Pros

Company culture

Cons

Management / communication can be confusing

Jobs at Babcock International

Assistant Engineers - Modelling

Electrical Manufacturing Apprentice

Poor company, low salaries, bad organisational culture

Material Planner (Former Employee) - Bovington, Dorset - 23 March 2022

Unsupportive and unfair management. Your face has to fit in to be treated fairly. No training whatsoever unless you “know” or are related to some important managers in the company, so favouritism is the answer.No provision if you have a long term condition , total disregard for pregnancy and maternity rights. No gender equity, this is a “men’s world”.

Pros

Job stability if you do not care for pay increase or career progression

Cons

Low salary, toxic environment, unsupportive management

Stagnant workplace with little or no opportunities

Pros

Flexible

Nice team

Commercial Officer (Former Employee) - Bristol - 15 March 2022

Good place to work. I worked within the commercial team. However , coming from a finance background, I don’t think the job was for me. It suited someone that had a legal background particularly for the contract management side of the job.

Slow paced workshop

Vehicle Mechanic / Examiner (Former Employee) - Dorset - 11 March 2022

Very slow paced work. Management/work planning need improvement. Work/home life balance couldn’t be any better. Just need to take life a bit slower when you arrive for work. I would work there again

Miserable place to work

Project Engineer (Current Employee) - Rosyth - 10 March 2022

This place has destroyed my mental health, it’s very much if your face fits - but if you play golf you’ll go far! It’s not the workplace it was when the mod had the yard..Babcock have ruined it.

So much work for little pay and no benefits.

Regional trainer delivering retail and warehousing apprenticeships level 2 (Former Employee) - Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear - 28 February 2022

Company is a KPI driven and managers protect their favourites. Always working well I’ve to try abs complete all tasks, admin is just crazy. Managers do not care about the learners experience or journey, just hitting the KPI’s that no staff receive any benefits for.

Pros

Manage your own hours

Cons

Hours, no benefits, manager unprofessional

Disappointing

Electrical Fitter (Current Employee) - Walsall, West Midlands - 18 January 2022

No job progression, no incentive only if your face fits nothing but false hopes and promises, lack of communication, can't wait to leave, lots of bullying for supervisors on average 6-8 people leaving per week
