Be Part of Something Big

Reputation is earned. It’s forged from years of hard work, consistency, reliability, and an unrelenting commitment to quality. We have been challenging ourselves “how might we?” for more than a century, to entrench Babcock as one of Africa’s most reputable brands, across industries and sectors, serving and supplying construction equipment, generators, welding supplies, plant hire, and more.

 

People who work at Babcock are here because they are really good at what they do. Fuelled by passion and guided by a strong sense of purpose, our people continue to preserve the Babcock legacy.
