Nuclear Submarines Business Degree Apprenticeship

Starting Salary: £22,990 per year

Location: Derby

Duration: 4 years

At Rolls-Royce we are proud to be a business that has truly helped to shape the modern world and are committed to always being a force for progress; powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.    

By joining Rolls-Royce in an Emerging Talent programme, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture.  

Position summary:

For more than 60 years Rolls-Royce Submarines has designed, supplied and supported the nuclear propulsion plant, providing safety critical, complex power and propulsion solutions for all UK Royal Navy nuclear submarines. That deep nuclear knowledge means we are ideally placed to explore how this unique form of power can address some of the world's biggest problems.

Our Nuclear Submarines Business Degree Apprenticeship will give you the skills and knowledge to manage the projects, plans, components, contracts, and supplier relationships that are vital to the successful delivery of this work.

What you'll be doing:

You'll spend four years with our expert teams working on real projects that support submarines in the Royal Navy. In the process, you'll get to experience the full breadth of our Submarines business, taking on a variety of placements across different functional areas, which could include project management, supply chain, planning and control, and improvements.

Alongside developing practical knowledge you'll also study for a BA (Hons) in Business Management and Leadership with the University of Derby at our Nuclear Skills Academy. Together, these experiences will equip you for a business career that offers a huge range of possibilities.

Through the series of placements, project-based work and additional training courses, you'll learn essential skills across the business functions – everything from planning, stakeholder management and data analysis to purchasing, processes and commercial awareness. These skills will enable you to create a great grounding for a future in our business.

Who we're looking for:

• Five GCSEs at a minimum of grade 4/C which must include Maths and English Language
• 96 UCAS points (obtained or predicted) from either:
  • 3 A-Levels to include as a minimum, an A-level in a numerical or business related subject at grade C
  • A single Level 3 BTEC in a business-related discipline

If you have any other equivalent qualifications, please contact us.

Every bit as important as your academic achievements, however, are the personal qualities you bring to the role. We're looking for people who are keen to learn about what makes a business operate successfully.

Beyond that, you'll need to be a logical and analytical thinker who can solve problems with a common-sense approach and work well in a team.

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.

To work for the Rolls-Royce Submarines business an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently already have this in place.  Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.

What you'll get:

• A competitive starting salary with annual pay rises
• Fully sponsored BA (Hons) in Business Management and Leadership from the University of Derby
• 33 days' holiday per year (including bank holidays)
• Competitive pension
• A choice of voluntary benefits including discounts at nationwide stores, gyms, discounted health care, free digital GP, Cycle to Work scheme and more all available on our TotalReward portal
• Continuous learning and development
• Support from managers, leaders, mentors and other apprentices
• Opportunities to develop beyond your day-to-day role and get involved in social activities
• An independent, 24-hour, confidential counselling service

Our vision is to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that shaped our history continues into our future. Our multi-year transformation programme aims to turn Rolls-Royce into a high-performing, competitive, resilient and growing company. Join us, and it can be your future vision too.   
 

Rolls-Royce are committed to being a respectful, inclusive, and non-discriminatory workplace where individuality is valued, diverse perspectives fuel innovation, and everyone can thrive.
