Babcock International and Devonport
The Engineer role is based within our Devonport Royal Dockyard business area.
Working at Devonport puts the best of the South West at your fingertips. Amazing scenery, vibrant towns and numerous leisure opportunities – It’s why Devon and Cornwall are such a desirable place to live and work.
Comprising of 14 dry docks, four miles of waterfront and 25 tidal berths, Devonport is the base for numerous surface vessels as well as the base and refit centre for the Trafalgar-class nuclear-powered submarines. Devonport has also recently been selected as the base port for the Navy’s new Type 26 frigates and will become the maintenance centre for the future submarine programme.
For more than a century, Babcock, the Aerospace and Defence Company, has been trusted to deliver bespoke, highly-skilled engineering services. We help customers in the UK and around the world to improve the capability, reliability and availability of their most critical assets within the four market sectors of Marine, Land, Aviation, and Nuclear, underpinned by a deep understanding of technology integration, unique infrastructure and specialist training.
The role The difference our new Engineer will make
As an Engineer, you’ll have a role that’s out of the ordinary. You’ll join a team who are responsible for ensuring the waterfront facilities and assets, predominately significant floating steel structures, can meet the operational demands of a modern Navy.
Day to day, you’ll be ensuring assets are fit for use, checking the general condition of those assets, identifying remedial actions, together with assessing if the facilities can meet current demands.
At Babcock, we have a history of helping talent go far. With our track record of innovation, you’ll continually develop your knowledge and expertise.
We offer flexible working to give people more options to better integrate their work and personal life, whilst ensuring that business needs are met. This role provides support to operational facilities for critical programmes, as a result on-site presence is essential.
