Babcock Australasia has launched its Graduate Programme, with positions available regionally across a wide range of fields in the aviation and defence sectors including engineering, project management, finance, and human resources.
During the two-year programme participants will be paid Babcock employees, applying their technical skills and training in a practical environment, alongside an established team of industry professionals.
Engineering and Project Management graduate positions are available in Auckland, suitable for those who have studied Naval Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electronics and Project Management.
Babcock Executive Director Engineering & Technology Brad Yelland said Babcock was investing in the company’s future workforce by supporting emerging talent in science, technology and engineering.
“We are focused on providing Future Talent pathways for graduates, work experience students, interns and apprentices through our Early Careers programmes.
“While we’re recognised as one of Australia’s leading aviation and defence businesses, due to the breadth of work we undertake opportunities aren’t limited to STEM graduates. Graduate roles will integrate with departments across Babcock including Engineering, Human Resources, Finance and Strategy.
“Our programme allows for graduates to be mentored by industry experts and leads to true career outcomes. Upon completion, participants will remain employed with Babcock.
“Recruiting new talent is important for not only broadening our resource pool it also expands diversity of thought within our business to inspire and reflect the communities in which we operate,” said Yelland.
The Graduate Programme will commence in November 2022 with roles based in Auckland and Australian capital cities.
In conjunction with the graduate programme, Babcock offers a 13-week paid internship programme concluding in February 2023. Due to the competitive entry to the Graduate Programme, an internship provides a springboard whereby participants will be considered for the 2023 intake of the programme.
Babcock also offer work experience for primary and secondary school students including short-term placements, STEM activities within the school/community, and mentoring/support at the tertiary education level.
