About the role
Join Babcock’s defence engineering team, where your technical capability directly supports the reliability, safety and through‑life management of critical equipment. In this role, you’ll undertake structured equipment audits — researching baseline data, validating maintenance needs, reviewing designs and producing clear, compliant documentation. Your work will ensure assets entering Babcock’s stewardship are safe, maintainable and supported by the right engineering evidence.
You’ll be part of a collaborative, values‑driven organisation where curiosity, courage and quality are core to how we operate. This role offers genuine professional growth, exposure to complex engineering environments and the chance to influence how Babcock delivers essential capability to the defence sector. If you enjoy technical problem‑solving, navigating standards, and creating documentation that enables safe and effective operations, this is a position where your engineering discipline truly matters.

You’re analytical, confident with engineering data and comfortable working with standards, maintenance requirements and engineering toolsets. You communicate clearly, produce high‑quality documentation and enjoy working collaboratively to achieve strong technical outcomes. You’re curious, detail‑focused and committed to continuous professional development, making you well‑suited to an engineering role in the defence environment.
