As an Engineering Design Apprentice, you’ll be part of our Waterfront and Design Team, supporting a range of projects across the Royal Navy’s submarine fleet. The team is part of a 200-strong engineering community responsible for capability upgrades, defect investigations, safety assessments and specialist analysis - all of which help ensure submarine safety and availability for the UK’s Continuous At Sea Deterrent.
Every day is different as you cover a wide variety of design-related activities. You’ll create 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) drawings, assist with spatial and structural validation surveys onboard submarines, and contribute to design reviews and assurance activities.
You’ll also gain experience in using engineering documentation, understanding change control and developing the communication skills needed to work with engineers across multiple disciplines.
Every project you support plays a vital part in protecting people and assets. The design information you help to create and maintain will contribute directly to the continued safety, reliability and performance of the Royal Navy’s submarine fleet. Training:As part of your apprenticeship, you’ll study for the Level 3 Engineering Design Technician Apprenticeship Standard through Train’d Up.
Training blends virtual learning with workplace experience. You’ll take part in live tutor-led e-tutorials, supported by regular feedback and assessments that help you apply your learning as you go.
By the end of the programme, you’ll have achieved a recognised qualification as a Level 3 Engineering Design Technician and developed the practical experience to apply your learning confidently within a professional design environment. Training Outcome:Upon completing your apprenticeship, you’ll progress into a Draughtsperson role within the Waterfront and Design Team.
A newly qualified Draughtsperson at Babcock currently earns a competitive salary of around £30,000 per annum, with opportunities to grow into positions such as Designer, Senior Designer and Engineer for those who show drive, curiosity and potential.
From there, your development doesn’t stop. 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.
