What are the Best and Worst things about your job?
Best
I feel like my role and the work I do matter, it is NOT just another pet project. In my role so far I have been able to get great exposure to the leadership team at Babcock. At the moment I am liaising with the board members on a long term project that I am leading. Being on Babcock’s graduate scheme for me means always being ready for new challenges that often make me step out of my comfort zone, the graduate scheme provides a lot of networking and creating sustaining relationships both internally and with customers. In addition, I have always felt welcome to ask any questions that I might have which was not the case in my previous work experience. The ability to work under pressure and to deadlines with a great level of flexibility and attention to details is crucial.
Worst
Social life could be quite bad as some of the placement locations are in small towns in remote areas where most of the colleagues are older and often with families. Most of the contracts do not offer flexible working hours.
What is the annual salary for this role?
Starting salary: £27,000 - £29,000
Current salary: £29,000 - £31,000
What hours do you actually work, on average?
Start: 08:00
Finish: 16:00
What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
The application is standard – online application (CV, cover letter and a short questionnaire), psychometric tests, phone interview and assessment centre. Research the company well, research all four sectors! Do NOT research only the sector you will be applying for. It is much better to be aware of what the group as a whole is doing, the projects that are currently going on, the clients etc. Check spelling and grammar.
Do you have any interview tips?
The phone interview is about 15 to 20 minutes long and it could be with a fellow graduate which is a great way to make it a bit more relaxed.
The assessment centre is also very pleasant, consists of some fun games to play and an interview part. Prior to the assessment centre prepare some answers that show how you have dealt with a certain situation.
