You will be involved with the welding of a range of materials using various manual and mechanised welding processes.

* You will be responsible for welding products to nuclear standards using technical instructions, manufacturing drawings, and written specifications.

* You will be working with the latest welding technology including a variety of mechanised technology for both static and rotational welding configurations.
* Performing welding procedures in a range of positions including 6G.
* You will work within a team to resolve production and quality issues and have the flexibility to undertake other tasks and activities when production work is not required.
Your role will be an integral part of our manufacturing process and will enable Rolls-Royce to maintain our excellent quality standards.
Who we’re looking for:
To be successful in this role you will need to meet the following criteria:
* You will have completed a recognised time-served welding apprenticeship including City and Guilds, NVQ3 or equivalent.
* Experience completing thick gauge welding procedures, ideally working on pipes.
* Experience in pressure welding to 100% X-Ray, ultrasonic or liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) is preferred.
* You will possess experience in welding a range of materials, including stainless steel.
* Working knowledge of health, safety (including COSHH), and environmental procedures.
To work for Rolls-Royce Submarines you need to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance without any caveats to that clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you don’t currently have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, you must hold UK nationality. Any dual nationals will require additional scrutiny and background checks prior to commencing work with RRSL.
