What will you do on the programme?

Planning is at the heart of everything we do – it ensures we have the right materials, at the right time, in the right place, to support complex engineering projects and keep things running smoothly. On this graduate programme, you’ll learn how to bring together demand, supply and operations planning to help us deliver smarter, more efficient outcomes.

From supporting daily operations to contributing to long-term planning decisions, you’ll get involved in everything from analysing material flows and reviewing supplier performance to responding to part shortages and supporting real-time production priorities. You might help prepare for monthly Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) reviews or collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine forecasts and optimise supply routes.

Throughout the programme, you’ll work closely with planners, engineers and suppliers, building your confidence and developing a solid foundation in modern supply chain and planning practices.

This is an opportunity to build expertise in a fast-paced, business-critical environment where your ideas and input will be valued from the start.

How is the programme structured?

Over two years, you’ll complete three structured placements designed to give you broad exposure to the planning lifecycle. Each rotation focuses on a different aspect of supply chain planning, helping you understand how demand, supply and operations all connect to keep projects moving forward.

You’ll spend time in core planning roles such as Production Planning and Material Planning, and you may also gain experience in areas like Integrated Business Planning or Master Production Scheduling. This variety gives you the chance to build confidence, develop practical skills and discover where your strengths and interests lie.

How do we develop and support you?

From day one, you’ll receive structured support, personalised training, and dedicated mentorship to help you excel throughout your programme and beyond.

You’ll join our Graduate Development Programme, featuring expert-led masterclasses on communication, personal branding, resilience, and wellbeing.

There may also be opportunities to work toward accreditation with the Institute of Supply Chain Management (IOSCM) – helping you build recognised credentials as your career progresses.

What’s waiting for you after the programme?

Upon completing the programme, you’ll transition into a permanent role within Supply Chain Planning.

From there, your development doesn’t stop. We’ll support you as you grow into more senior roles and take on greater responsibility. Through the Babcock Role Framework, you’ll have a clear view of how your career can progress, with mapped-out pathways, development opportunities and the tools you need to get wherever you want to go.

What rewards and benefits will you get?

We want you to feel supported, valued and excited about what’s ahead. That’s why we offer a comprehensive package designed to support your development, your wellbeing and your life outside of work too.
