Babcock extend jobs scheme with STEM Returners

Babcock will offer the STEM Returners programme at their sites in Plymouth, Bristol and Rosyth following a successful programme in 2021. Roles include Mechanical Design Engineer, Naval Architect and Structural Engineer, among others.

STEM Returners, based in Hampshire, will source candidates for the programme, which aims to return or transfer experienced engineers back into industry following a career break. The fully paid placements act as a ‘returnship’, allowing candidates to be re-integrated into an inclusive environment upon their return to STEM. Whilst the scheme helps solve the problem of sourcing talent in sectors that need it, it also has the added benefit of increasing diversity in a host organisation.
