About the programme

As a Graduate Naval Architect at Babcock, you will embark on an accredited two-year rotation through some of the most complex engineering projects in the world today.

You will be at the centre of defining your path through the programme, identifying those placements that suit your career ambitions, guided by a professional mentor and supported by the early careers team every step of the way. 

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

Naval Architecture at Babcock

The activities in this area are many and varied, and Babcock’s wide range of engineering projects and industrial sites mean you’ll never be far from your next challenge. 

You might be helping us dock a 16, tonne nuclear submarine, assess aircraft carrier flight deck structure for F35 Lightning landing loads, analyse mooring arrangements for Type 31 frigates, design systems to withstand wartime explosive events, or define the stability requirements for surfacing a nuclear submarine through the polar ice cap.

What’s certain is that you’ll work alongside – and learn from – over of the most respected naval architects and structural engineers in the world. 

You’ll learn how to analyse and design various aspects of floating vessels and structures, including hull form, arrangement, stability, structures, resistance, propulsion and human factors. In the process, you’ll be making a real contribution to the wider business. 

Previous graduates have worked on everything from naval ships, in service or decommissioned submarines to small boats, and commercial vessels and platforms. They have helped us develop unmanned surface vessel support solutions and even been involved in next generation submarine pre-concept engineering. 

Within Babcock you’ll also have opportunities to further the field of Naval Architecture through research, attendance and presenting at industry recognised conferences. We place a strong emphasis on continuous professional development with support throughout your career to help you progress towards Chartered Engineer status and we have close links with both professional and academic institutions within the field.

• A BEng (Hons) degree accredited by RINA/IMarEST is desirable.
• A degree in Naval Architecture is just one route into the programme, we also accept applications from a wide range of STEM based degrees such as Structural Engineering, Material Sciences and Mathematics, to name a few.

Further details are available at 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
