“The most challenging part of this role was that I was completely new to project management altogether, it is rewarding to be offered this role with little experience, yet with all the support from my line manager and colleagues to help me gain career with a good team.”

A career with Babcock can start from anywhere

We have introduced new approaches outside traditional routes, such as our ‘Train to Fit’ programme, opening up opportunities to a broader range of people. Our ‘Train to Fit’ programme accelerates the development of motivated individuals for high demand roles, broadening our talent pool.

“To help me through the challenging part of learning all about my role, I was put onto a training scheme called ‘Train to Fit’. I had 12 months of learning and five exams, teaching me about all different aspects of the role to help me gain understanding of what I need to do, and what project management was about.”

At Babcock our people have a role that’s out of the ordinary, working on programmes of national importance. We make the most of all talents, providing the training our people need to make the most of the skills they already have and to gain plenty of new ones.

“It’s great being part of a supportive team, helping you learn know more about Babcock. It’s nice to look back and see how far I’ve come since I first started when I didn’t know much about what Babcock do, but now working on different projects for different vehicles, I’ve found it more interesting that I ever thought I would.”
