Systems Engineering Graduate Programme 2025

7 days ago

Warrington, United Kingdom Babcock International Group Full time

Our Systems Engineering Graduate Programme is designed to develop you into a skilled Systems Engineer. Using systems principles and concepts, you’ll learn how to support the development of engineering designs through the whole lifecycle. You’ll help ensure our clients' systems remain reliable, seamlessly adapt to changes in partner systems, and operate efficiently without issues.

You might find yourself working on submarine design projects or warship refits. You could also be involved in complex marine projects, military or emergency services fleet maintenance, vehicle development, rail engineering or nuclear programmes. The possibilities are incredibly varied.

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.

Where you'll be based

Places on our Systems Engineering programme for Autumn 2025 are available at Cavendish Nuclear.

Cavendish Nuclear is a core part of Babcock International Group’s Nuclear Sector. We provide a comprehensive range of critical nuclear solutions across the markets of Clean Energy, Defence and Civil Decommissioning, both in the UK and internationally.

From decommissioning redundant nuclear facilities, through supporting the Continuous at Sea Deterrent, to supporting the operation and build of nuclear power plants, our role in Cavendish Nuclear is to clean up the nuclear legacy and create a world where nuclear plays a key contribution in protecting our nation, ensuring security of energy supply and meeting our net zero commitments.

You could be based in a number of locations. You’ll probably call Cumbria, Bristol, Warrington or Newbury home, but you could also work from other sites.

As part of this programme, we encourage mobility across our sectors to give you a broader experience and wider exposure to our business.

Closing dates

Please be aware that if there is a high level of interest in this programme, applications may close earlier than advertised. To give yourself the best chance of being considered for a place on this programme, please submit your application as early as possible.
