A Day in the Life of a Royal Navy Reservist Lieutenant (Sea Cadet Corps)
Cody's story
I am a Royal Navy reservist…
My role in the Royal Navy puts my sea skills to good use. As a reservist, I have been able to use the special paid leave I receive from Babcock to lead a one week Cadet Instructor Power Boat level 2 training course (RYA) for 25 people.
My day job is:
Principal marine engineer.
A normal day for me would be:
In my role, there isn’t really a ‘typical’ day because I work on a number of projects all at different phases of their life cycle. They also vary in size and scope.
The tasks I will get involved with are usually data collection and research ahead of writing reports and technical papers; managing junior engineers and assisting graduates with their projects; and working on design calculations. I am also an advisor for other projects based on my extensive seagoing experience.
Every project at Babcock is different and it is great to have this variety in my day!
