Global defence company Babcock has launched a recruitment drive to fill 100 engineering roles amid recent defence contract wins worth $1.1 billion.
The contract wins will see the company deliver a next-generation upgrade to Australia’s Defence High Frequency Communications System as well as managing the sustainment of the Royal Australian Ships at Henderson, Western Australia, as the Regional Maintenance Provider West.
The new engineers will join a diverse selection of defence programs throughout Australia and New Zealand including warship sustainment, submarine weaponry, counter-chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (C-CBRNE), ground support equipment and high frequency communications defence capability as well as roles across Babcock's aviation and critical services divisions.
Job opportunities extend across the spectrum of engineering, from systems and software engineering to mechanical and electrical engineering, naval architecture and more.
“Babcock is a global company, with global opportunities expanding throughout Australasia,” Babcock’s Acting Executive Director, Engineering, Technology & Program Management, Glenn Logan said.
“To help fuel that growth we are recruiting engineers to work on some of the most innovative and challenging projects which contribute to the safety and security of the region.
“We’re after graduates right through to experienced engineers, and Babcock’s agile working practices enable many of these recruits to work anywhere in the region.”
