The role

As a Engineering Technician, you’ll have a role that’s out of the ordinary. The development of the Babcock T23 Refit Support Group (RSG) team is an exciting opportunity for engineering technicians to maintain and repair a wide range of equipment and systems in a dynamic and varied environment.

This role is based onsite full time at Devonport Royal Dockyard.
