Job Satisfaction at Babcock Australia & New Zealand

Work as a graduate project manager, working on a range of small projects. One of my main responsibilities at the moment is to help build a schedule for our sustainment activities for the Collins class submarines.

I work as a Graduate engineer at Delivery (FEC) department in my current rotation. I work with Electrical team learning more about the installations and maintenance works that happen for the navy ships. I also help in organising the Electrical workshop using 5s and labelling the area. I also take this opportunity to learn more about the estimation of production engineers with help on requesting for quotes for the required parts.

As a grad, we rotate in different parts of the MEST over the 2-year programme. I am currently in the PMO team, which oversees a lot of the processes which tie together the different teams within the MEST. As part of the PMO, my day-to-day responsibilities so far include supporting other members of the PMO where I can. This includes attending meetings, writing minutes, preparing documents to be published after these meetings. Part of this is also doing training required for my role such as learning how to use certain programmes and be exposed to different working environments as we collaborate with different teams. Being in the PMO has helped me understand more about how the different functions in the business work together.

My current role as part of Babcock's rotation program is a Graduate Engineer with the Assest Performance and Optimisation Team. My day-to-day includes analysing systems onboard the LHD in which we can improve the current Maintenace to reduce defects and costs. This is completed by workshopping with the rest of the team, speaking with ship staff, and following the Reliability Centred Maintenace process.

My normal day consists of; -Project meetings and corresponding with other Alliance partner members. -Updating documentation and spreadsheets. - Updating processes.

I am enjoying my role and the responsibilities that I have been given. However, some days feel slow and like I don't have much to do.
