At Babcock, data is at the heart of everything we do. This two-and-a-half-year apprenticeship will give you the essential analytical skills you need to uncover insights, make an impact, and help us make informed, reliable decisions that shape the future of our business.

We’re on a mission to become a data-driven organisation, leveraging data to boost productivity, enhance project delivery, and foster a data-first culture that values data-led decision-making.
