Babcock to create 1,000 new jobs at Rosyth
Over a thousand new jobs are being created at Babcock’s advanced manufacturing and shipbuilding facility in Rosyth to support the company in delivering programmes and to develop its workforce capabilities.
Over four years, Babcock will recruit 400 apprentices, 350 production support operatives, skilled engineers, tradespeople, and graduates. The roles will support programmes like the Type 31 ‘Inspiration Class’ frigate design and build programme.
In a statement, David Lockwood, chief executive, Babcock International Group, said: “Continued investment in Babcock’s development programmes and facilities enables our apprentices, graduates and trainees to experience a mix of on-the-job learning in a modern, digitally led industrial environment, alongside academic training with further education partners and our own Babcock Skills Academy.
Babcock said the production support operative initiative is focused on attracting people from a range of backgrounds and experience, including those not currently in education, employment, or training, with the role centred around support and learning from time-served tradespeople.
Babcock’s latest recruits will join an advanced manufacturing and digitally enabled facility that has seen investment of over £200m in recent decades.
