Electro-Mechanical Engineering Degree Apprenticeship
Our 5-year Electro-Mechanical Engineering Degree Apprenticeship offers the chance to earn a degree while developing real-world skills with experienced engineers on projects that make a difference. You’ll support complex defence programmes and help us create a safer, more secure world.
Role
- You'll begin by working alongside experienced engineers, developing a strong understanding of the Design Engineer role and its application within the naval and defence sector. As your skills and knowledge develop, you'll take on increasing responsibility, contributing directly to projects that support Submarines, Surface Ships, and advanced Communications technologies.
- Throughout the programme, you’ll develop crucial skills in electrical and mechanical design, requirements definition, use of test equipment and hand tools, and more. You’ll gradually take on more responsibility, supported every step of the way by your team and mentor.
- Whether you're problem-solving with colleagues or applying theory to practice, you'll build your skills while contributing to meaningful projects.
Training
As part of your apprenticeship, you will work towards a BEng (Hons) degree in an engineering discipline through an approved university and training provider. The exact delivery model may vary but will include a combination of academic study, structured training and practical workplace experience.
Throughout the programme, you will develop the technical knowledge, professional skills and industry experience needed to succeed in your engineering career. On successful completion of the programme and End-Point Assessment (EPA), you will be well placed to progress into a substantive engineering role within the business.
Upon successful completion of your apprenticeship, you'll have the opportunity to move into a substantive role, typically as an Assistant Engineer or Engineer within one of our engineering disciplines.
Apprentices who complete the programme can expect a competitive starting salary, alongside opportunities to pursue professional registration and chartership, supported by experienced mentors and industry professionals.
As a global organisation, Babcock offers a wide range of opportunities to develop your skills and progress your career.
