Plant and Equipment Project Engineer - Submarines

Full Time

Derby, site-based

Why Rolls-Royce?

We have an exciting opportunity for a Plant and Equipment Project Engineer within Rolls-Royce Submarines Business in Derby. 

In this role, you will be responsible for the successful delivery of multiple elements of an engineering project. You will be working across multiple disciplines and lifecycle stages in order to ensure that the areas under your responsibility meet both our engineering and project requirements. You will be able to interact with various stakeholders both internal and external to the business in order to be successful. We are looking for a skilled engineer and although experience of working with nuclear facilities is certainly advantageous, we are open to hear from those who are interested in redeploying their existing capabilities in a new area. What is most important is having the right approach; you need to be someone who gathers all the required expertise and stakeholders together and can understand and organise a variety of technical information to deliver the right solution at the right time.

Our Submarines business is responsible for the design, manufacture, supply and through-life support of nuclear propulsion-related products and systems in support of the Royal Navy's submarine fleet.

Join us and we’ll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive, digital-first culture that invests in you, gives you a platform for continuous learning, and access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities to grow your career.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the Regeneration of the Raynesway Nuclear Licenced Site.  This once in a lifetime major infrastructure programme is replacing the current facilities with modern state of the art manufacturing capability. For you, this means unique opportunities to shape the future of the Submarines business.

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

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home or another remote location.  It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement.  As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

What you will be doing:

You will do creation and maintenance of technical requirements and associated verification & validation activities.

• Ensuring that the engineering solutions meet all project and technical (including safety) requirements.

• Stakeholder identification, engagement and management.

• Acting as an intelligent customer for activities carried out by suppliers.

• Leading the engineering packages through the gated review process.

• Working with the project management team to ensure that schedules, risks, costs and resource requirements are understood and maintained.

• Ensuring that regulatory and legal requirements are met throughout.

Who we’re looking for:

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

• Qualified to degree level or equivalent in a STEM subject and with experience in a relevant highly regulated engineering environment.

• Qualifications relating to health and safety such as IOSH or NEBOSH are desirable.

• A Chartered Engineer or hold an affiliate/associate membership of a relevant professional body or be working towards Chartered/Incorporated status.

• You should be able to demonstrate an appreciation of a wide breadth of engineering topics relevant to nuclear facilities.

• Experience of producing and reviewing health and safety documentation.
