Rolls-Royce Advanced Engineering Apprenticeship - Raynesway, UK
Job Description
Engineering Advanced Apprenticeship
Duration: 4 years
Starting salary: £16,666
Location: Derby Raynesway
When you're helping build some of the most advanced power systems in the world, inspecting their components or maintaining the tools and machinery that support them, you need to be skilled at what you do. That's why we invest so much in training our Engineering Advanced Apprentices and offer the sort of real-world experience you can't get anywhere else.
Join us and you'll contribute to work that keeps us all safe - for over 60 years Rolls-Royce has powered all of the UK Royal Navy's nuclear submarines.
You can expect outstanding career support from day one, debt-free qualifications, and the chance to build an amazing career in a friendly, supportive environment where you can be yourself and be your best.
What you'll do
In your first year, you'll gain a strong foundation in the practical skills you need in our dedicated Nuclear Skills Academy. Over the following three years, you'll broaden and deepen your knowledge through a range of attachments within our Defence Submarines business, all the while working towards completing your apprenticeship standard and gaining relevant engineering qualifications.
This is hands-on work. Throughout your apprenticeship you can expect to train on state-of-the-art products, equipment and machinery. All while being guided and supported by engineering experts.
You'll be working on live projects and earn as you learn through formal training as well as practical experience.
What could you become?
In Derby Raynesway, you'll develop specialist skills in one of the following roles:
Fitter: Follow detailed instructions and technical drawings to assemble marine systems for nuclear submarines, using hand and machine tools and measuring equipment.
Machinist: Precision work, making components from specialist materials using hand and CNC machine tools, as well as measuring and checking they're exactly right for our requirements.
Mechatronics Maintenance Technician: Install, test, fix, and maintain complex automated equipment with skills and knowledge learned across mechanical, electrical/electronics, fluid power and control systems disciplines.
Pipe Welder: Manually join tubes and pipes used in nuclear submarines using a range of materials and techniques.
What you'll need
You'll need a minimum of 4 GCSEs (or equivalent) at grade 4/C which must include Maths, English Language, Science (excluding Biology) and one other subject at grade 4/C. Obtained or predicted.
Beyond your qualifications, we want to see evidence that you're genuinely interested in the practical side of engineering or hands-on activities. For example, we'd like to hear if you enjoy figuring out how things work; fixing things, or about an engineering or practical project you've done at school or home or a club you've been involved with. We'll provide you with a fantastic framework and all the opportunities you need to progress, but it'll be up to you to lead your own development. So, you must be full of initiative, adaptable, eager to learn and driven to succeed.
Our behaviours drive us - we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. We'll expect that of you, too.
To work for the Rolls-Royce Submarines Business, an individual has to hold a minimum of a Security Check (SC) clearance without any caveats to that clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if the individual does not currently already have this 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 from a non-ITAR country.
What you'll get
* A competitive starting salary with annual pay rises, and pension
* 33 days' holiday per year (including bank holidays)
* A choice of voluntary benefits including discounts at nationwide stores, gyms, discounted health care, free digital GP, Cycle to Work scheme and more all available on our TotalReward portal
* Continuous learning and development
* Support from managers, leaders, mentors and other apprentices
* Opportunities to develop beyond your day-to-day role and get involved in social activities
* An independent, 24-hour, confidential counselling service
CLOSING DATE: 28th March 2025, 12pm (GMT)
