Let's meet goals 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 Principal Health Physicist / RPA on the United Kingdom's first Submarine Decommissioning Program at our Rosyth site.

As an international defence company, we support and enhance our customers' defence and security capabilities and critical assets, meeting their requirements of value for money, increased availability, modernisation and flexibility.

  • Develop radioactive clearance methodologies and processes to demonstrate submarine clearance in compliance with IRR17 and EASR18
  • Implement the ADR and Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations across the site.


Your Stakeholder Managements skills will grow as you liaise with ONR, the MoD and our internal staff on technical health physics and compliance activities across the Babcock site. Your project management experience will grow as you work closely with our team and the Ministry of Defence to deliver the decommissioning project effectively on time and within budget.


At Babcock, we have a history of helping talent go far. With our track record of innovation, you'll continually develop your knowledge and expertise.
