Do you want to help us in our mission, creating a safe and secure world together, whilst working on projects that are truly unique?

The Royal Navy rely on our engineering, project management and digital teams to keep their submarines at sea and submariners safe. They Protect our Nation and we help to Protect them.

At Babcock we have a true culture of opportunity – with business contracts that last decades and structured career development pathways that can take you in all kinds of directions; you will grow, develop, and achieve more than you ever thought possible.  There has never been a better time for you to join Babcock Submarine Support and play your part in protecting the protectors.

The Role

• Leading the delivery, governance and continuous improvement of the Enterprise Integrated Business Planning process.
• Implementing and embedding best-practice Integrated Business Planning principles across the submarine portfolio.
• Chairing stakeholder review forums to support timely decisions and balance demand, supply, capacity and capability requirements.
• Collaborating with enterprise partners to establish accurate demand signals, supply assumptions and planning data.
• Managing Enterprise Integrated Business Planning performance metrics, scenario planning activities and the Enterprise Integrated Business Planning team.
