Job description

Procurement and Supply Chain sits at the heart of everything we do. It ensures that resources, suppliers and services are managed effectively to keep projects on track and deliver for our customers. This graduate programme offers the change to develop a broad understanding of how supply chains work on a national and global scale – you’ll learn how we source responsibly, manage supplier relationships, apply technology and data to support the business and manage the risk of our supply chains to deliver for our customers. The programme gives you the opportunity to see how working in Procurement and Supply Chain supports both our customers and colleagues, and contributes to a safer more secure world.

How is the programme structured?

This two-year programme combines functional experience with leadership development to prepare you for a future leadership role in procurement and supply chain. You’ll complete four six-month placements across the UK, in areas such as source-to-contract, o, category management and support to business growth with additional exposure to areas such as Operational Procurement, Supplier Quality and Logistics & Warehousing. During your rotations, you’ll work with diverse teams and contribute to key projects, supporting our current operational teams and making a real difference to our customers. By the end of the programme, you’ll have developed practical skills, gained valuable experience, and explored the wide range of career paths available at Babcock.

What’s waiting for you after the programme?

Upon completing the programme, you'll transition into a permanent role within our Procurement and Supply Chain team. You’ll be ready to apply everything you’ve learned about sourcing, supplier relationships and value chain management, making a real impact on the projects and partnerships that keep our business moving. From there, your development doesn’t stop. We’ll support you as you grow into more senior roles and take on greater responsibility. Through the Babcock Role Framework, you’ll have a clear view of how your career can progress, with mapped-out pathways, development opportunities and the tools you need to get wherever you want to go.

What rewards and benefits will you get?

We want you to feel supported, valued and excited about what’s ahead. That’s why we offer a comprehensive package designed to support your development, your wellbeing and your life outside of work too. In addition to a minimum starting salary of £35,000, you’ll benefit from:

• A minimum of 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays
• Generous pension and employee share schemes
• Flexible benefits, including cycle to work scheme, discounts
• Wellbeing support, covering mental, physical, financial, and social wellbeing, with services like our Employee Assistance Programme, digital GP service, and health checks.

Where will you be based?

Our Procurement and Supply Chain Management Graduate Programme for September 2027 is a Group programme, which means your placements could take you to locations across the UK. These may include, but not limited to, Plymouth, Bristol and Warrington in England, as well as Rosyth in Scotland.

We ask all our graduates to be flexible and open to moving during the programme, as our teams are based close to our customers. This variety is part of what makes the programme so rewarding, giving you the chance to see different parts of our business in action. We’ll work with you to understand your preferences and will always try to balance them with the needs of the business.

You’ll need to have achieved, or be on track to achieve, a bachelor's or master's degree, and have a demonstrable interest in procurement or supply chain management.
