“Working on complex, long‑term defence programmes means every day brings something new and the scale of what we do pushes you to keep developing. From modelling to financial reporting, you’re constantly learning — and surrounded by people who want you to succeed.”
Katherine – Head of Finance
“I joined Babcock straight out of university and working in different finance roles and sectors at Babcock has given me a truly broad skill set. The variety here feels like starting with a new company again and again — and it’s a big part of why I’m still growing my career with Babcock.”
Jenna – Finance Director
“I joined Babcock just over two years ago as a part qualified business-facing accountant and it’s been a fantastic journey of growth. During this time, I’ve developed my technical and commercial finance skills while working towards my professional accounting qualification, gaining valuable experience in supporting key business decisions.”
