Skills
Capable for today, ready for tomorrow
Babcock is a people business. We have a lot of opportunities ahead of us and are ensuring we have the workforce we need both now and in the future. That means delivering the growth, skills and capability enhancements that will support our customers’ critical programmes for years to come.
The right people, with the right skills, in the right place.
A career with Babcock can start from anywhere. We have introduced new approaches outside traditional routes, opening up opportunities to a broader range of people, as well as supporting existing employees to gain additional skills and retrain into new roles and careers by attracting people from a range of backgrounds and experience, including those not currently in education, employment or training and assessing people first on characteristics such as attitude and teamwork rather than qualifications, broadening our talent pool.
In focus: Accelerated training for high demand roles
