At Babcock, we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together. If you join us, you can play your part as a Senior Procurement and Supply Chain Manager at Hawthorn, near Corsham, Wiltshire.

The Role

As a Subcontract Manager, you’ll help drive one of the most exciting areas of our Mission Systems business - ensuring our space and defence programmes have the right suppliers, contracts and commercial foundations to succeed.
