Western Europe’s largest naval base
Comprising of both a naval base and a dockyard, Devonport is home for numerous surface vessels and is the only licenced site in the UK for refitting and fuelling nuclear-powered submarines.
Babcock, as support partner to the MOD and co-owner of the site, provides through-life support for submarines, surface ships and associated systems and equipment. Ensuring that both the Royal Navy and Babcock have the right facilities and infrastructure to deliver their role is essential, and as such we need engineering professionals to sustain and develop Devonport into the future.

Ready for the future
Devonport has recently been selected as the base port for the Navy’s new Type 26 frigates and will become the maintenance centre for the future submarine programme, including the Astute and Dreadnought class.
As a result, Babcock is embarking on a significant infrastructure transformation programme that will take thirty years to complete and revolutionise the way the Royal Navy is supported.
Although exciting, the programme will present multiple challenges; building nuclear-standard facilities adjacent to an operational nuclear site, working within a site of historic importance and industrial legacy, and all within an environment where the Royal Navy must always come first.

Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary and a hugely rewarding career in a great South West location, you’ll receive additional benefits which make your new role all the more appealing.
South West life
How would your perfect day off play out? Maybe you’d hit the surf, go sailing or spend the day sunbathing on a stunning golden beach with friends. Perhaps you’d hike across gloriously rolling hills, stop off in a country pub for lunch and maybe try your luck with a spot of fishing.
If you’re an urbanite at heart you might prefer superb city centre shopping, a gallery, a top restaurant and a lively waterside bar.
You’ll find all of this, plus great places to live and a selection of good schools and colleges and much more in the South West. It’s why it’s such a desirable place to live and work.
Plymouth
With the wild natural backdrop of Dartmoor to the north of the city, the sea and deep harbour of Plymouth Sound to the south, and the rivers Plym and Tamar to the east and west, there really is no other city like Plymouth.
