Creating change together
At Babcock we're working to create a safe and secure world, together, and if you join us, you can play your part as a Commercial Officer at our Devonport Dockyard site.

The Commercial Officer role is based within our Devonport Royal Dockyard business area.
Working at Devonport puts the best of the Southwest at your fingertips. Amazing scenery, vibrant towns, and numerous leisure opportunities - It's why Devon and Cornwall are such a desirable place to live and work.

Comprising of 14 dry docks, four miles of waterfront and 25 tidal berths, Devonport is the base for numerous surface vessels as well as the base and refit centre for the Trafalgar-class nuclear-powered submarines. Devonport has also recently been selected as the base port for the Navy's new Type 26 frigates and will become the maintenance centre for the future submarine programme.

For more than a century, Babcock, the Aerospace and Defence Company, has been trusted to deliver bespoke, highly skilled engineering services.
