Why Rolls‑Royce?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Environmental Advisor – Vulcan to join Rolls‑Royce Submarines.

The Submarines sector of Rolls‑Royce has been providing power systems expertise to the Royal Navy’s fleet of nuclear‑powered submarines since the early 1960’s. At the Vulcan site we have been leading the way by operating full‑scale prototypes of the Royal Navy’s Nuclear submarine plants as the lead of class. As a site we have been involved in the trials, testing and data collection across all the reactor cores designed and developed for the Ministry of Defence.

Join us and we’ll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive, safety first culture that invests in you, gives you a platform for continuous learning, and access to opportunities to grow your career.

Help to identify and promote good practice as well as working collaboratively with Business colleagues and the wider HS&E function, to build a sense of team and ensure alignment to Business and functional strategies.

What you will be doing:

• Actively engaging and communicating with various stakeholders to positively influence a strong environmental safety culture on site.
• Perform and record regular site tours/inspections ensuring acceptable standards and behaviours are being followed at all times.
• Providing professional advice and guidance to various stakeholders.
• Contribute towards ensuring our Environmental management systems are continually improved.
• Identifying trends and ensuring improvement plans in place are completed in full.
