Electrical and Electronic Engineering is at the core of our design and integration projects at Babcock.
From fitting-out advanced warship and vehicle systems, designing the next generation of nuclear power plants or providing a safe, reliable and efficient rail network, we provide our customers with better capability, reliability and availability for their critical assets.
You’ll spend between two years getting involved in anything from defence engineering or rail engineering to complex nuclear projects.
As part of this programme, we encourage mobility across our sectors to give you a broader experience and wider exposure to our business.
Working in a discipline of such fundamental importance means that you could work on anything.
You could work on a range of interesting and cutting-edge projects across the Group. You could be on the team designing submarines, converting vehicles, refitting warships, helping to build the UK’s next generation of nuclear power plants or leading engineering track projects. You could find yourself working on electrical power distribution or electrical control and instrumentation, involving both analogue and digital systems.
Whatever part of our business you’ll join you’ll get involved in everything from concept design and AutoCAD layouts to testing, installation, commissioning and handover to clients. You may even find yourself managing projects and leading your own team.
We’ll provide you with a supportive and engaging environment where you can grow your career.
In addition, you’ll benefit from:
You’ll also have the chance to get involved in our STEM outreach activities and volunteering opportunities.
It’s hard to beat the variety of fantastic opportunities and business experiences you’ll receive. You can expect real world encounters and exposure to exciting projects that will really help you navigate where you want to take your career.
Plus, when you join us, you’ll be automatically enrolled onto our Graduate Development Programme. Through a series of digital and face to face sessions, presented by wellbeing and performance experts and our external partner Gen Healthy Minds, we will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to thrive and perform at your very best on your programme and beyond.
