BABCOCK TO CREATE 1,000 NEW JOBS AT ROSYTH

News

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.


Minister for defence procurement, James Cartlidge, and Babcock CEO David
Lockwood, with apprentices and production support operatives at Rosyth - Babcock
International

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.

Apprentice numbers are also increasing at Babcock’s operation on the west coast
of Scotland, supporting His Majesty’s Naval Base Clyde and the UK’s submarine
enterprise, with Babcock’s apprenticeship opportunities expected to double in
2024.

Paul Sheerin, chief executive of Scottish Engineering, said: “Babcock Rosyth’s
announcement is fantastic news for the engineering industry in Scotland – and
the wider UK too. With a staggering four hundred of the one thousand newly
created roles being apprentices, what a fantastic opportunity to add
highly-skilled, well-paid jobs to our economy, and boost our talent pool
significantly. It creates the chance for people new to the world of work, and
those seizing the option to change track on their career, to contribute to the
never more important security of the UK.”
