WORKING LOCATION: DERBY RAYNESWAY

We are looking for Plant and Equipment Engineers (P&E) to join the Rolls-Royce Submarines Business.
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. We support the Royal Navy as the Technical Authority for all UK Naval Reactor Submarine Plants, and we’re continuing to build our nuclear sector capability to support the development of a new nuclear plant for future submarines.
For you, this means unique opportunities to shape the future of the Submarines business.
Our Plant Engineering capability is key to supporting our nuclear operations in our manufacturing plants, through the design, installation and handover of new assets, or modifications to existing assets, to improve nuclear facilities.
We are looking for engineers to join our team and be responsible for the successful delivery of engineering packages. 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 have several vacancies that we are recruiting across all our programmes including design of new nuclear facilities as part of our site regeneration ambitions and improving the capability and resilience of our existing facilities. These roles may involve leading the development of new plant & equipment, delivering engineering projects from requirements capture through to operational handover, or acting as the Intelligent Customer for key facility capabilities (eg Clean Rooms). You will join an expanding Plant Engineering community and will have the opportunity to work across different areas – the specific role will be dependent on the balance of skills and experience of all successful applicants as well as those of our existing teams.
Although experience of working with nuclear facilities is certainly advantageous, we invite applications from those that are interested in redeploying their existing capabilities from other industries and sectors 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. Key skills and experience that we are interested in includes: electrical; controls & instrumentation; civil and structural; fabrication and welding; HVAC, services and utilities; and machine tool maintenance. You may have a background in designing, specifying or servicing plant & equipment relevant to the operation of a factory.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

• Elicitation, creation and maintenance of technical requirements and associated verification & validation activities.
• Working with specialist engineering input to create an integrated engineering solution.
• Ensuring that the engineering solutions meet all project and technical (inc. safety) requirements.
• In time and under formal appointment acting as an intelligent customer for activities carried out by suppliers/partners to ensure compliance with design intent, safety requirements, legislation and standards.
• Provision of expertise to other engineering packages.
• 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.

At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

• You will have formally recognised qualification relevant to your engineering discipline, or evidence relevant experience in the field.
• Qualifications relating to health and safety such as IOSH or NEBOSH are desirable.
• Experience of producing and reviewing health and safety documentation.
• You should be able to demonstrate an ability to deliver projects successfully.
• Experience of multiple stages within the engineering lifecycle is advantageous.
• Experience of working with the supply chain and contractors is beneficial
