We will provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive innovative culture that invests in you gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

As we continue to support the Royal Navy as the technical authority to the UK Ministry of Defence for naval reactor plants we are also growing our submarine and nuclear sector capabilities.

What We Offer

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

What You Will Be Doing

You will be responsible for the creation of component/assembly/systems designs and associated through‑life justification that meet their requirements and product attributes of life cost, availability and safety margins.

Additional Responsibilities
  • Create solutions and justifications that are robust against variation taking account of the full life cycle (concept, design, manufacture, operation and disposal).
  • Integrate cross‑discipline engineering concepts which include manufacturing engineering, simulation, materials testing and supply chain.
  • Document and verify information against sound mechanical engineering practices and references.
  • Present evidence at technical reviews in front of peers and expert panels.
  • Publish safety and technical reports which are subjected to customer and regulatory scrutiny.
Who We Are Looking For

At Rolls‑Royce we embrace agility, boldness, collaboration and seek simplicity in everything we do. These principles form our values and behaviours and are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

  • Ideally you will have experience in one of the above disciplines, although this does not need to be limited to submarines.
  • It is preferable you are Degree‑qualified or Apprentice‑trained in a relevant engineering discipline; however, experience is equally beneficial.
  • External skills/experience can be from industries such as Civil Nuclear, Marine, Petro‑Chemical and Oil & Gas.
