What will you do on the programme?

Procurement and Supply Chain sits at the heart of everything we do. It ensures that resources, suppliers and services are managed effectively to keep projects on track and deliver for our customers.

This graduate programme offers the change to develop a broad understanding of how supply chains work on a national and global scale – you’ll learn how we source responsibly, manage supplier relationships, apply technology and data to support the business and manage the risk of our supply chains to deliver for our customers.

The programme gives you the opportunity to see how working in Procurement and Supply Chain supports both our customers and colleagues, and contributes to a safer more secure world.

How is the programme structured?

This two-year programme combines functional experience with leadership development to prepare you for a future leadership role in procurement and supply chain. You’ll complete four six-month placements across the UK, in areas such as source-to-contract, category management and support to business growth with additional exposure to areas such as Operational Procurement, Supplier Quality and Logistics & Warehousing.

During your rotations, you’ll work with diverse teams and contribute to key projects, supporting our current operational teams and making a real difference to our customers. By the end of the programme, you’ll have developed practical skills, gained valuable experience, and explored the wide range of career paths available at Babcock.

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.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
