Work for the world you want to live in.


Wouldn’t you want to live in a world where people, populations and the planet thrive? Where technology protects rather than threatens. Where societies feel safe and secure. Where cities and continents feel part of one global community.


We’re an international aerospace, defence and security company, with sites all-round the UK, that do loads of exciting and important things to make the world safer and more secure. We defend nations, save lives and protect communities around the globe.


Ashchurch:

You will primarily be working as part of a team of technicians based in Ashchurch, Gloucestershire. You will have the opportunity to visit other sites both in the UK and overseas installing fibre networks and/or repairing to a high standard.


Working here puts the best of the Cotswolds and Malvern Hills at your fingertips. Amazing scenery, vibrant towns and numerous leisure opportunities - It’s why Worcester & Gloucestershire are such desirable places to live and work.


For this role you will be based in Ashchuch, with access to work flexibly from the two different sites when practical. Normal hours of work are 37 per week, Monday to Friday, with flexible start and finish times to meet the needs of the customer.


This role is within the Marine Sector of Babcock International Group, which delivers a wide array of complex through-life marine engineering services to defence and civil customers across the globe. These range from UK and international naval fleet support, commercial marine, engineering consultancy, weapons handling, equipment support, intelligence, cyber security and training.


Mission Systems forms a critical, and growing part of Babcock’s Marine organisation. Our dynamic and motivated leadership team is committed to an exciting transformation agenda that will help Mission Systems to innovate, modernise and create a more people-focussed business that can support our customers’ mission. Working across a range of exciting design, manufacture and support projects, Mission Systems employs approximately 1,600 people across the UK and overseas with the largest sites based in Bristol, Plymouth, Portsmouth and Ashchurch.


For more than a century, Babcock, the Aerospace and Defence Company, has been trusted to deliver bespoke, highly-skilled engineering services. We help customers in the UK and around the world to improve the capability, reliability and availability of their most critical assets within the four market sectors of Marine, Land, Aviation, and Nuclear, underpinned by a deep understanding of technology integration, unique infrastructure and specialist training.


Fibre and Communications Technician Apprenticeship:
The Fibre and Communications Technician Apprenticeship will take two years to complete, based on site whilst undertaking distance learning and on the job training (OJT) using a trade mentor. You will complete training assignments and gather competency information to meet internal and external apprentice assessments.


Typical day-to-day tasks for a Fibre and Communications Technician Apprentice will include:
  • Install pre-designed fibre network
  • Measure, cut and install containment for both fibre and power
  • Undertake activities associated with light engineering

  • Customer liaison/reporting/compulsory training
  • IT/general administration

This programme will offer the opportunity to gain extensive experience within our on-site production department as well as the design, analytical and wider business areas for which our graduate scheme is held in such high regard.

This programme gives you a broad exposure to our business, including experience in analysis, design and install. There are also opportunities to undertake off-site placements at some of our other business units – something which we strongly encourage and support.
