To work for the Rolls‑Royce Defence business an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls‑Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently have it in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.

Rolls‑Royce are committed to being a respectful, inclusive, and non‑discriminatory workplace where individuality is valued, diverse perspectives fuel innovation, and everyone can thrive.
