    Job description

    At Rolls-Royce SMR, we’re tackling the energy challenge head on by building the next generation of clean energy. We're developing innovative small modular reactors, making clean energy more accessible while creating a UK success story with the potential to transform energy systems around the world.

    • Lead stakeholder engagement across construction and engineering teams
    • Build capability, governance and engineering processes for site delivery

    We seek an organised and a natural leader who will have had exposure in regulated or safety‑critical environments (as you would expect nuclear "know-how" will be of great interest to us, whilst those from defence, aerospace and manufacturing sectors may all have transferable capability).

    • Senior manufacturing or installation engineering leadership experience.
    • Large project delivery experience.

    • 12.5% performance related bonus
    • A benefits allowance of £2,200 to build a personalised package
    • Pension – 12% employer, 6% employee
    • Holidays – 28 days + public holidays (option to buy/sell up to 4 days)
    • Private Medical Insurance – BUPA
    • Life Assurance – 6× pensionable pay
