Why Rolls-Royce?
There is currently a unique exciting opportunity for a Technical Lead with a Firefighting Equipment and Escape background.
So if you can demonstrate technical engineering knowledge of Firefighting Equipment and Systems in a Safety Critical Environment this maybe the perfect opportunity for you. Rolls-Royce is a part of The Dreadnought Alliance that was formed in 2018. The Alliance's mission is to deliver four Dreadnought submarines for £31 billion, with the first one ready for patrol in the 2030s.
We’re a leader in propulsion system design and development for the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet and the sole provider and technical authority.
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.
You will be responsible for advising the SubSys Engineering System Owner on the approval of the design and build acceptance of Firefighting and Escape Systems (including all fixed arrangements and portable stores) integrated into the Dreadnought Class submarines.
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’ll be doing:
You will be responsible for the delivery of assurance to the Platform Authority of the capability and performance of Fire Fighting Equipment, Fire Detection Systems, Emergency Breathing Systems and Escape and Rescue Equipment.

We’re an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives.
