Job Description
Manufacturing Engineering Degree Apprenticeship
Starting Salary: £20,735 per year
Location: Bristol
Duration: 4 years
Our Manufacturing Engineers develop some of the most advanced manufacturing processes in the world. Join them as an apprentice and you'll be turning our designs into reality, learning from these world-class experts, as well as customers, suppliers and operations specialists.
Rolls-Royce designs, builds and services the world's most vital technologies, providing critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.
We've been a force for progress for over 100 years. And it's what's fuelling our next chapter as we power, protect, and connect people everywhere. That's our vision for you, too. Join us and we'll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive culture that invests in you and gives you access to opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.
The programme
You'll spend your first year completing foundation training which will give you a broad understanding of manufacturing engineering principles. Please note that for your first year you will be based at Weston College in Weston-Super-Mare.
From your second year, you'll embark on a series of six-month placements on site at Rolls-Royce. Alongside job-specific training courses you'll get study for a BEng degree at the University of the West of England delivered via a mix of block and day release.
What you'll do
Across your apprenticeship you'll gain practical knowledge in areas such as introducing new products, controlling change and continuously improving existing manufacturing processes, acquiring new technology, implementing digital manufacturing solutions and interfacing with suppliers. Alongside this, you'll learn how to manage projects and costs, how to design and validate manufacturing processes, solve engineering problems, and implement quality assurance methods.
What you'll need
* 5 GCSEs which must include Maths and English Language at grade 5/B, plus three other subjects at grade 4/C.
* 112 UCAS points (obtained or predicted) from either:
o Three A-levels at Grade BBC, which must include two A-levels at grade B in Maths, plus either Physics, Engineering, STEM related subject, excluding Biology. Plus one other at grade C, excluding General Studies.
o A Level 3 Extended BTEC Diploma in an appropriate discipline at DDM, but must also include Maths A-level at grade B.
If you have any other equivalent qualifications, please contact us.
Every bit as important as your academic achievements are the personal qualities you bring to the role. Creativity and an agile approach are both important.
But above all, you'll need to be passionate about manufacturing engineering, as well as analytical, highly motivated, and most importantly, endlessly curious about how things are made and how processes work.
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.
What you'll get
* A competitive starting salary with annual pay rises
* Fully sponsored BEng degree
* 33 days' holiday per year (including bank holidays)

* Continuous learning and development
* Support from managers, leaders, mentors and other apprentices
