Process Design Engineering Graduate Programme

Name: James

Location: Devonport

Sector: Nuclear

Having studied Chemical Engineering at university, James knew several people who had joined the Process Design Engineering Graduate Programme and were thoroughly enjoying it – as well as hearing of other chemical engineers who had successfully achieved chartered status through this route.

As part of the Process Design Engineering Graduate Programme, James’s main responsibilities include designing and maintaining the equipment and facilities used to support the refit activities of the Royal Navy’s nuclear-powered submarines.

“Choosing to work for Babcock was an easy decision – I knew I would have great career prospects and the chance to build a varied and successful career. I know that what I do here matters and has an important impact.”

“Babcock’s graduate programme is well-developed and highly supported by the whole business. Teams enjoy having graduates on their placements, and there’s a lot of variety available for personal development.”

Making a positive impact

We promote an inclusive culture, and our employee networks unite people of similar interests and experiences.

“I’ve has the chance to take on additional responsibilities, such as being a lead for the Health & Wellbeing Network which champions a positive physical and mental wellbeing mindset for all graduates. Being part of the Health & Wellbeing Network allows me to pursue other passions aside from my main role, and having the flexibility to follow different interests while on the programme is a fantastic perk.”

“Babcock really values my work-life balance and I appreciate how much control the company gives me over my working week. It’s clear that the business is people-focused and understands that every employee has a life outside of work that is just, if not more important, than their work-life/career.”
