Why Babcock
At Babcock, our mission has never been clearer. In times of geopolitical instability, we play a crucial role in international defence, aerospace and security.
More than ever, what we do matters – protecting lives, maintaining lines of defence, and ensuring critical services and assets are readily available, affordable, and future proof. From nuclear submarines beneath the waves, to the latest land vehicle technology, we enable our customers to fulfil their duty as we work with them side by side to create a safe and secure world, together.
Our teams across the world share this Purpose, and as an agile, people-centred business, where everyone is included, supported, and empowered, our people are involved in programmes and projects that really make a difference. Our simplified structure allows us to share capability, talent and best practice, as we focus on embedding diversity, collaboration, and innovation across our global organisation.

Agile working
At Babcock, agile working means offering more choice and autonomy about how, when and where we do our best work – all while balancing the needs of our customers, business, team and ourselves. It breaks down traditional limitations such as dedicated desks, one-size-fits-all working hours and hierarchical office design in favour of more innovative approaches to workplaces and working patterns. For you, this could mean flexible start and finish times, a mix of office and home working, or even condensed working weeks.
We believe that everyone at Babcock should be able to embrace some version of agile working. As a result, we aim to create teams that feel more engaged and provide an environment that fosters greater personal wellbeing. Check our job adverts for more details or talk to our recruitment team about what agile working looks like for the role and team you’re applying for.
Development and support
At Babcock, you’ll receive the support you need to deliver and thrive in your role. As a large global organisation, we offer plenty of opportunities to grow your skills and develop your career.
To help navigate these opportunities, we introduced the ‘Babcock Role Framework’, which helps our people better understand what we all do, where they fit in, and what opportunities are available.
Every job in Babcock is mapped to a common set of role ‘families’ and five common career pathways. With our role framework, you’ll know what the next step on the pathway is and what that role involves, meaning you’ll be joining an organisation where professional development and career opportunities are transparent.
Once you know where you want to go, we’ll help you get there. As well as the support of your manager and colleagues, there are a range of resources and programmes in place to fuel your development. Our range of online training courses available include:
We’ll empower you to fulfil your potential – whether that’s in your own team or in another part of our business altogether.
Inclusion & diversity
For us, the transformative power of different perspectives and working with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and approaches enhances our working environment and drives our business performance.
