About the programme
Getting things to happen how they should, when they should, safely and within budget is both a science and an art. On this programme, you’ll learn exactly how it’s done.
As a Project Management Degree Apprentice, you’ll play a key role in ensuring projects are delivered successfully. Whether it’s cutting-edge design and manufacturing, in-service support, or innovative capability enhancement, you’ll contribute to some of our most business-critical programmes.
One of your core responsibilities will be supporting the planning and delivery of Maintenance Periods for in-service UK submarines. Working within the Submarine Support Engineering (SSE) team, you’ll gain experience managing complex programmes and discover first-hand the strategic importance of the UK’s submarine fleet.
Over the course of this four-year programme, you’ll develop a blend of technical knowledge and essential soft skills, including:
* Advanced planning and scheduling techniques
* Communication and stakeholder management
* Problem-solving and decision-making
* Team leadership and collaboration
* Risk assessment and mitigation
You’ll put these skills into practice by leading multi-disciplinary teams, managing stakeholder expectations, and navigating the challenges of delivering large-scale, high-impact projects.
Your education/training

The remainder of your time will be spent onsite at Babcock, where you’ll apply your learning in a real-world setting. You’ll develop practical skills, gain valuable industry experience, and deepen your understanding of your role by contributing to live projects and working alongside experienced professionals.
By the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll be ready to take the role of an Assistant Project Manager within Babcock.
