Why Rolls-Royce? 

Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.  

We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.  

We want to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that has shaped our history continues into our future, and we need people like you to come and join us on this journey.  

The Service Data Management (SDM) Project is an ongoing project within Rolls-Royce Submarines rationalising executive and non-executive systems to simplify the management of in-service data used across the Submarines engineering population.

We'll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference. 

Maximo is the IBM enterprise asset management software selected as the tool of choice. Using this software has enabled the Submarines business to reduce data management load, simplify data entry, integrated data quality/governance and provide more holistic reporting capabilities.

You will be taking new engineering data sources discovered by the Data Transformation project and migrating into Maximo to make the data accessible to the Submarines engineering population. The project will also continually maintain existing functionality within Maximo, through bug fixing and improvements identified through end user feedback.
