Join Babcock as a Nuclear Scientist and Engineer Degree Apprentice and, over the course of our 4-year programme, you’ll work towards a BH degree while contributing to projects that support national security. You’ll learn from experienced professionals, gain valuable practical experience and help deliver work that creates a safer world.
- Based at Devonport, the largest naval base in Western Europe, you’ll join a targeted development programme designed to prepare you for a career in nuclear science and engineering
- You’ll work alongside an experienced team supporting the safe refit and maintenance of the UK’s nuclear submarine fleet. You’ll develop an understanding of the nuclear systems and equipment that underpin critical defence operations, helping to ensure they operate safely, efficiently and in compliance with stringent regulations
- You’ll contribute to activities such as engineering design, technical analysis, simulation and modelling, engineering calculations, and the production of technical reports and drawings, gaining experience in how engineering and scientific principles are applied in a safety-critical environment
- Through placements across specialist teams, including Design Delivery, Safety Engineering, Operations and Maintenance, Reactor Commissioning, Nuclear Standards, Reactor Product Safety and Assurance, and Radioactive Waste Management, you’ll gain broad experience across the nuclear lifecycle while developing an understanding of how complex engineering systems are designed, operated and maintained in a safety-critical environment
