This position is being advertised to form a pipeline of candidates for future positions within Rolls-Royce Submarines based in our New office in Glasgow, therefore applicants should not expect feedback immediately. However, we will endeavour to review your CV in a timely manner.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join Rolls-Royce Submarines. So, if you are a Design Engineer who is passionate about engineering, can demonstrate mechanical design experience from concept to delivery and believe you can make a difference in our Submarines business, we want to hear from you now, so apply online.

Why Rolls-Royce?

We’re a leader in propulsion system design and development for the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet and the sole provider and technical authority.

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

As we continue to support the Royal Navy as the technical authority to the UK Ministry of Defence for naval reactor plants, we’re also growing our submarine and nuclear sector capabilities.

As part of this we are looking for a number of people with a strong background in Mechanical Design Engineering to support the following areas:

• Nuclear primary components, including the reactor core
• Secondary propulsion components
• In-service support and maintenance
• Special purpose tools and equipment
• Future product

What we offer:

We offer excellent development, a competitive salary and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home or another remote location. It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

What you will be doing:

You will be responsible for the creation of component/assembly/systems designs and associated through-life justification that meet their requirements and product attributes of life, cost, availability, and safety margins.

Additionally, you will:

• Create solutions and justifications that are robust against variation, taking account the full life cycle (concept, design, manufacture, operation, and disposal).
• Integrate cross-discipline engineering concepts which include manufacturing engineering, simulation, materials, testing, and supply chain.
• Document and verify information against sound mechanical engineering practices and references.
• Present evidence at technical reviews in front of peers and expert panels.
• Publish safety and technical reports which are subjected to customer and regulatory scrutiny.

Who we’re looking for:

• Ideally, you will have experience in one of the above disciplines, but this does not need to be limited to Submarines.
• It is preferable that you are Degree Qualified or Apprentice Trained in a relevant engineering discipline, however this is not essential as experience is equally beneficial.
• External Skills/Experience can be from industries such as Civil Nuclear, Marine, Petro-Chemical and Oil & Gas.

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.

We’re an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives. And the more perspectives we have, the more successful we’ll be. By building a culture of respect and appreciation, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.

Any dual nationals will require additional scrutiny and background checks prior to commencing work with RRSL.
