As a Project Management Degree Apprentice at Babcock, you’ll be part of something bigger from day one. While working towards a BSc in Project Management, you’ll contribute to projects that are essential to national security. You’ll gain real-world experience, learn from industry experts, and play a key role in delivering projects that help create a safer, more secure world.

About the programme

Getting things to happen how they should, when they should, safely and within budget is both a science and an art. On this programme, you’ll learn exactly how it’s done.

As a Project Management Degree Apprentice, you’ll play a key role in ensuring projects are delivered successfully. Whether it’s cutting-edge design and manufacturing, in-service support, or innovative capability enhancement, you’ll contribute to some of our most business-critical programmes.

One of your core responsibilities will be supporting the planning and delivery of Maintenance Periods for in-service UK submarines. Working within the Submarine Support Engineering (SSE) team, you’ll gain experience managing complex programmes and discover first-hand the strategic importance of the UK’s submarine fleet.

Over the course of this four-year programme, you’ll develop a blend of technical knowledge and essential soft skills, including:

  • Advanced planning and scheduling techniques
  • Communication and stakeholder management
  • Problem-solving and decision-making
  • Team leadership and collaboration
  • Risk assessment and mitigation

You’ll put these skills into practice by leading multi-disciplinary teams, managing stakeholder expectations, and navigating the challenges of delivering large-scale, high-impact projects.

Your education/training

You’ll work towards a BSc in Project Management through a structured degree apprenticeship.

Your academic learning will be delivered online via virtual day release, where you’ll take part in interactive lectures, seminars, and workshops designed to build your theoretical understanding of project management principles and practices.

The remainder of your time will be spent onsite at Babcock, where you’ll apply your learning in a real-world setting. You’ll develop practical skills, gain valuable industry experience, and deepen your understanding of your role by contributing to live projects and working alongside experienced professionals.

By the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll be ready to take the role of an Assistant Project Manager within Babcock.

What you’ll need

  • Level 2 English and Maths at 4/C or above, plus one of the following:
    • 3 A Levels at grade C or above, preferably in related subjects such as Maths, Science, or IT.
    • T Level Pass (with a grade C or above in the core component).
    • BTEC Extended Diploma at grade MMM (Merit, Merit, Merit).
    • An equivalent qualification at Level 3.
  • Strong communication skills, the ability to work well in a team, good organisational skills, attention to detail, and a passion for project management.
  • Many of our apprenticeships are subject to Security Clearance and Trade Control restrictions which mean that your place of birth, nationality, citizenship, or residency you hold or have held may impact which programmes you are eligible for. For this programme, you must be able to achieve Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) and Security Check (SC) clearance. Further details are available at United Kingdom Security Vetting: clearance levels – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
  • Please note that a successful application for this apprenticeship is dependent on acceptance by the University Centre Weston.

You’ll also benefit from:

  • Fully funded qualification
  • Personal development training and opportunities
  • Minimum 28 days holiday allowance including bank holidays
