Working across teams, you'll help drive meaningful change that makes a difference to how we work and what we deliver.

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

• Accountable for the successful delivery to cost, specification & time for defined projects/workstreams.
  
• Establish, develop & maintain Project Management processes & documentation necessary to deliver projects (e.g., schedules, WBS, performance reports, budgets, risk registers, resource plans etc.).
  
• Support management and key stakeholders in decision making.
  
• Develop & implement Project Management best practice.
  
• Provide guidance & tutoring to colleagues on Project Management systems, tools & methods.

Being a part of Rolls-Royce, you'll know we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form our behaviours. They are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

• Degree level qualification preferable or equivalent industry experience.
  
• Member of a professional body and working towards a APMPQ qualification or equivalent
  
• Significant experience gained in previous project management role (Project Lead) or experience gained within a relevant discipline, preferably on project work (Project Controller)
  
• Desirable to have a familiarisation with enterprise project management systems and tools, such as Primavera P6 and Business Map.
  

We are 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 which are crucial to innovation and problem solving. We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we'll be.
