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.

What We Offer

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

Your needs are as unique as you are.

What You Will Be Doing

With this attractive opportunity you will get a chance to:

• Assemble electrical control panels and switchboards using electrical schematics and build instructions.
• Install components, copper bus-bars, power and control wiring in accordance with 17th/18th Edition IEE regulations.
• Perform fault diagnosis, electrical testing, and repairs to ensure safety and functionality.
• Use calibrated tooling, torque wrenches, and crimp tools to carry out high-precision, low-voltage electrical builds.

Who We’re Looking For

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.

Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently already have this in place.

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.
