Systems Engineering at Babcock

You'll receive comprehensive support as you develop expertise in systems engineering - an interdisciplinary approach to the design, development, operation, and maintenance of complex systems.

You'll work closely with experienced teams across design, software, mechanical, constructive, and electrical engineering, as well as with project management, quality, and supply chain specialists. You’ll apply your evolving systems engineering skills to engage with various stakeholders, understand system needs, identify and mitigate risks, and ensure that systems meet their requirements.

What you'll need
  • Due to the nature of this discipline, we accept a wide range of STEM degrees. Our preference is that your degree is also accredited by the relevant institution.
  • Many of our early careers roles are subject to Security Clearance and Trade Control restrictions which mean that your place of birth, nationality, citizenship, or residency you hold or have held may impact which roles you are eligible for. Further details are available at United Kingdom Security Vetting: clearance levels – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) For our early careers roles, you must be able to achieve BPSS and many of them require you to be eligible for Security Clearance.
What you'll get

We’ll provide you with a supportive and engaging environment where you can grow your career. In addition, you’ll benefit from:

  • A minimum of 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays, with agile working options subject to discussion with your manager
  • Generous pension and employee share schemes
  • Flexible benefits, including cycle to work scheme, discounts
  • Employee assistance programme supporting physical, mental and financial wellbeing

You’ll also have the chance to get involved in our STEM outreach activities and volunteering opportunities.

Your career development

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.
