Project Engineer
Name: Brandon
Location: Devonport
Sector: Nuclear
Meet Brandon, a Project Engineer at Devonport, who is applying his engineering expertise and armed forces background to his role after a long and varied military career.
“It was a friend who told me about the project engineer roles available here. He said Babcock would guarantee an interview to former armed forces providing they were suitably qualified for the role. My engineering qualification and experience certainly qualified me, but I also liked the terms and conditions Babcock were offering, so I applied for a role working with submarines.”
“Most of my engineering background comes from working with vehicle fleets but the engineering principles are the same and I’m able to apply them in my current role.”
We stand side by side with the armed forces
Our career opportunities are open to all members of the armed forces community, if you are a service leaver then we guarantee you an interview, as long as you meet the minimum requirements for the role.
“There are a lot of former Royal Navy personnel working in Devonport, and with a submarines/ warships background that would be expected. But there are also quite a few former members of the Army too, and it is good to be working around other former service personnel – the work ethic is similar, and the sense of humour certainly is too!”
“I’m looking to advance my career at Babcock and get back into people leadership and management. With some more experience of the systems, and with the support of my line manager, I know I can get there.”
