About Babcock 

Babcock is an international defence company operating in our focus countries of the UK, Australasia, Canada, France, and South Africa, with exports to additional markets with potential to become focus counties. We meet our customers’ key requirements of affordability, availability, and capability by delivering engineering, support and critical systems to defence and civil markets.

Our Apprenticeships

If you’ve got an interest in business, engineering, science or technology, a Babcock apprenticeship could be for you. 

As a Babcock apprentice, you will gain hands-on experience in the workplace while also undertaking a part-time course with a training provider. 

We offer a competitive apprentice starting salary, between £10,000 and £30,000 per annum, dependent on the apprenticeship level, discipline, and location.  

As an apprentice, you’ll also receive a superb package of benefits including personal development training and opportunities, 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays and a pension scheme with employee contributions matched up to 8% of your salary.   

As you progress through your career, you’ll have the opportunity to pursue further education opportunities and higher-level qualifications. 

We are very proud that apprentices choose to stay with us long after completion of their apprenticeship. In fact, many of our senior managers started their careers as apprentices in Babcock.
