Civil and structural engineering

Civil and structural engineering is all about people – making public services and facilities better to help make everyday life easier.

From building the next generation of nuclear power stations, to adapting dockyards to meet the demands of a modern naval fleet, your work at Babcock will have a real impact on making our world safer, simpler and better connected.

You’ll be involved in the planning, designing, constructing, maintaining and operating of infrastructure, ensuring the strength, stability and rigidity of buildings and other structures. You’ll help guarantee these critical facilities withstand the stresses and pressures imposed by use and the environment – whilst keeping the safety and comfort of its users at the forefront.

There are two primary pathways – engineers and technicians – which eventually lead into management roles that include team leads, engineering managers and subject matter experts.
